EMTs and Paramedics will identify themselves by shield number.
IDs that begin with '1' are paramedics, and those that begin with
'4', '5', or '6', are EMTs.

There is a plan to promote 1 EMT from each District Ambulance to the
position of Sergeant.  This EMT will be responsible for the maintenance
and stocking of the ambulance, station, and equipment.
