Does NYPD hire paramedics?
I am looking for a police department that employs EMTs/paramedics. I do not want any fire department/EMS systems, because I have no intention in becoming a firefighter. I would rather be a law enforcement officer.
Update:Just for clarification, I would rather be a LEO/Paramedic than a FF/Paramedic.

NO the Police department does not hire paramedics ANYWHERE in the US. The FIRE DEPARTMENT does. If you want to be in law ENFORCEMENT , you do NOT want to be a paramedic.
I believe that they will hire you just not give you the extra salary if that's what you are asking. I know when i took the Boston PD civil exam they said it wouldn't count towards a raise.
