Reserve EMS Plan Could Save Albany County Thousands
EMS coordinator Til Clarke proposed a county EMS reserve program to add about 15 nonpaid volunteers, modeled after sheriff department reserves, to reduce costs and defer hiring four full time EMS technicians. The plan faces scrutiny over 24 hour shifts and staffing logistics, with council members asked to review low cost options and feasibility.

Proposed EMS Policy Highlights for Reserve Volunteers
The policy outlines reserve EMS volunteers donating time to fund operations. Reserves must hold a valid driver's license and maintain current state or national EMS certification. Recruits ride 300 hours with EMS crews for evaluation, then 24 hours monthly. Uniforms are provided from existing stocks. Reserves must follow all personnel policies and procedures.
