Many (not all) police departments cross-train police officers as EMTs. The two are not mutually exclusive and, in many ways, complement each other.

- learc83 6y agoFull time EMTs aren’t trained enough to make good decisions about when it’s appropriate to administer ketamine and how much to give. A cop who did some EMT training but doesn’t use the skills full time is going to be even worse.
- hutzlibu 6y agoI am very much against the idea of police using ketamine, but I believe all street officers should be fully trained EMT's as well.
