He/she should use common sense. It seems to me the EMS coordinator may have a sub-agenda which may involve being on the local tv news. Is he/she so non-tech educated that he/she cannot use a cellphone? What he/she needs to do is immediately dial "777" to the appropriate VSP dispatcher. Report the incident, which will be faster than some private individual attempting to be "special" because he/she can contact a VSP trooper via a STARS radio immediately in case of an emergency. Additionally, the only Health Office's STARS radio is not available for use at the District Office. Bad idea..no, really bad idea!. He/she should get over it and move on.
The OEMS is a considered a response agency in the COV, and is also a regulatory agency (unlike the VDFP). Why NOT equip them with the means to communicate on STARS, especially since by law, they're the very agency responsible for the 35,000 EMT's responding to emergencies in the Commonwealth?
I having a hard time grasping your disdain for STARS and the PG County radio system planning and implementation...
