Board members for Barry-Lawrence County Ambulance District recently decided against pursuing a new position of SWAT medic.
Frank Foster, emergency services attorney, weighed in with his thoughts on a SWAT medic at the district.

Buying weapons, storing weapons and special protective gear, plus being on the districts time and additional training, this becomes quite a budgetary issue.
