Ooh, that's my hometown! I was so surprised when I learned that wasn't a normal part of emergency services. They've had that since I was a kid, and I thought it was just normal.

Anyway, I definitely encourage other people to look at that program as something to consider and adapt in handling a wide range of emergencies without police.
