Standard Credentials for first responders (EMS)
I found this on a different site it may impact us all down the road.
Standard Credentials for first responders?
Efforts by the U.S. Navy to develop a credentialing system for civilian first responders could lead to standard portable credentials for up to four million EMS, fire, police and other medical professionals.
The project is being conducted through the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in Charleston, SC, reported Government Security New’s Homeland Security Insider. SPAWAR personnel have compiled information on credentialing systems in current use, focusing on that are “portable for incident access control boundaries that have limited to no supporting infrastructure”.
A new credentialing system would be compatible with existing federal credentials per Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12 and comply with Federal Information Processing Standard 201 –Homeland Security Insider

Captianhook, we had a short discussion with the new DC and their going to push it. But they have to discus this issue with each state OEMS. The big issue will be who will train us? Who will be our med control? Because we all know that everyone and every state has different requirements and protocols.
