ECOs are the Dispatchers of SEMS, but they do much more than just dispatch units. ECOs use computer terminals, phones, and radios to field calls from the Police Department and Campus Health Staff, and then dispatch the appropriate SEMS personnel. No prior experience is necessary, and all training is provided by SEMS.

EMTs have the most visible job in SEMS - providing emergency medical care to people experiencing emergencies. In addition to having a State of Arizona certification as an EMT-B, applicants must have excellent customer service and teamwork skills.

I'm already an EMT - How can I get involved?

If you are already trained as an EMT-B and you are currently certified with the Arizona Bureau of EMS, then you are ready to start working for us! Fill out an online application and we'll get back to you to schedule an interview.

I'm not an EMT - How can I get involved?

It depends on what you want to do. We have plenty of Support Staff positions ranging from Emergency Communications Operator (you'd be in charge of using the radios to dispatch SEMS crews to emergencies and keep them in communication with other emergency responders) to helping with supply restocking. If you don't want to be an EMT, but you still want to help out, visit the contact page and describe what you want to do. Chances are we'll be able to utilize you!

How can I become an EMT?

We are currently exploring options that will allow us to certify EMTs, but at the moment, we cannot provide that education. Another option is to explore the Maricopa County Community Colleges website (or your local community college if you aren't from Maricopa County) and search for EMT courses. Most community colleges have the classes you need to become an EMT (in Maricopa County, the course you need is EMT 104).
