APPROVE LEXIPOL POLICY- 617- ADVANCED EMT CERTIFICATION <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR SWORN MEMEBRS <br />Attorney Kylie Connell submitted the above Lexipol policy for approval, she noted <br />that policy 617 formalizes and clarifies existing requirements for firefighters to <br />obtain and maintain their Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) <br />certification. Although the policy appears entirely new in the system because it was <br />recently added to Lexipol, it is largely an existing policy with only minor updates. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Carl Buchanon stated the revisions establish clear timelines for <br />achieving certification, outline notification requirements following each exam <br />attempt, and specify deadlines for submitting certification materials to the state <br />board. The policy also reinforces expectations for firefighters to make timely <br />progress through the certification process while providing a structured coaching <br />and mentoring approach to support their success. Chief noted the department <br />leadership emphasized that the intent is to help employees meet certification <br />requirements, ensure accountability, and avoid delays or repeated extension <br />requests.
