▶ 2:52:31 Jeff McNaught: The motion passes next we have order 2021 dash 64 acceptance of a police state. 911 grant, and the amount of 18,000 dollars to offset the annual contract cost for ambulance service.

▶ 2:52:48 Speaker 10: Thank you. This is another reoccurring medical grant or 9-1-1 grant we get for medical EMS dispatch resource. When a 9-1-1 call comes into the Maryland Police Department, it's a medical call. Automatically the dispatcher transfers it to Cataldo Ambulance. Their center is located in Malden and it's tiered. So if someone calls 9-1-1 saying I'm having chest pain, automatically goes to Cataldo Ambulance. They decipher it here. It's either ALS or BLS. I imagine if somebody has chest pains or elderly, whatever it may be, automatically, that would dispatch an ALS unit. Obviously, if it was something minor, somebody had a sore hand or something, it would be a BLS. Cataldo has been doing this for a number of years for the city, and we've had great service from them. As far as training, it's been excellent with them as well.
