Summary
An EMS representative told jurors March 10 that the parish had 743 calls in February (529 emergencies), announced an EMT class and a public outreach event on April 1 to introduce students to first-responder careers, and encouraged recruiting across agencies.
An EMS representative (identified as Amy) reported to the Avoyelles Parish Police Jury on March 10 that ambulance services responded to 743 calls in February, including 529 emergency calls and 214 nonemergency calls. The parishwide average response and a daily patient average were given as part of the monthly report.
The presenter said Marksville was the parish “hot spot” with the largest number of calls, and described recent community outreach including a "stop the bleed" program at a local school and standing support for fire‑department training. She said an EMT class begins this month and an EMR class will start next month.
Amy also announced a community "day in the life" event for juniors and seniors on April 1 at a local school site to showcase careers in fire, EMS and law enforcement and to offer on‑site recruiting. Jurors thanked the presenter and invited questions; none were raised.
No vote or action was taken; the update was received for the record.
