2017-1 CEMS Academy Graduation

2017-1 Cleveland EMS Academy Graduates taking the Oath of Office

Congratulations to the Cleveland Emergency Medical Service Academy Class of 2017-1.

The Academy graduated 19 Paramedics and 8 Emergency Medical Technicians, following an intense 14 week academy class which challenged the cadets academically, physically and emotionally.

These 27 men and women are now working individually with Field Training Officers - work side by side with the FTO and their partners for the next 3-8 weeks. This ride time is to prepare them to join the field staff.

The graduates are the first of two classes to be hired as a result of the additional funding coming into the City of Cleveland via the voter approved income tax increase.

CEMS is expected to hire as many as 100 new EMT's and Paramedics in this expansion - increasing the number of ALS ambulances from 18 to 25 by 2018.

The Cleveland Association of Rescue Employees, ILA Local 1975 welcomes these new recruits and looks forward to their joining the team.

Cleveland EMS Today

Cleveland EMS is staffed with, on average, 200 professionals who run 18 state-of-the-art advanced life support ambulances handling over 105,000 emergency calls annually. The dispatch center is now run locally with certified Emergency Medical Dispatchers trained on a Computer Aided Dispatching system which allows for call prioritizing, pre-arrival instructions, and the tracking of ambulances and support vehicles.
The Division’s emergency medical personnel receive rigorous education, training, and performance evaluations to make certain that Cleveland's citizens and visitors receive the best pre-hospital medical care in times of need.

Cleveland EMS History

Cleveland's Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Division was one of the country's first. Prior to its formation, police cars were used for emergency hospital transportation. A federal grant enabled the City to purchase a dozen ambulances and train 120 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's).

EMS Medic 9 (based out of University Hospitals at that time) responded to its first call at 9:00 am on October 13th, 1975. Cleveland EMS handled over 80,000 emergency calls that year. At that time, a central dispatch center received nationwide 911 calls which were then routed to the appropriate cities.

Advances in medicine, technology, education and training allowed the division to make major improvements. Public awareness grew as people recognized that EMS services were increasing survival rates for the critically sick and injured.
