Would being an EMT help me much in finding a BEA job?

That type of qualification would get my attention as it has done.
Having a trained EMT on the team is a big plus, in my opinion.

I agree comletely, Our team in Colorado has a certified EMT and I wish all of them did. This is or could be a invaluable asset for a lot of reasons.

I agree. In fact, I believe three members on our team are certified EMTs.

I've just been reading some of these past posts. This particular one has currently caught my attention. Aside from having medical assistance for your agents in case things get out of hand, there is another aspect to consider.
After we capture a fugitive, their safety becomes our responsibility. (Not that their safety isn't our responsibility prior to capture, just try and stay with me and keep on point) If that fugitive keels over and dies while in our custody, collecting payment may be the least of our worries.
What I'm getting at is that I believe every recovery agent should have at least a basic knowledge of first aid. Having an EMT on the team would be fantastic but realistically, that's not always going to happen. Tips can come in at anytime and that EMT may be at his other job or just unavailable. So, go the extra mile and get some training/certification in first-aid/CPR.
Transporting a fugitive to his lodging facility can be as quick as ten minutes or can be a day's journey; a lot can happen in that time. It's better to have the knowledge and not need it than need it and not have it. Just my thoughts on the matter though.

Additionally if your fugitive feins illness or injury, jails refuse them absent a medical release. ER waits are costly (your dime) so with an EMT-B or Paramedic on your team, a quick detore to a Fire Department where the fugitive refuses medical treatment, even if it is AMA (against medical advice) you will have your signed official release in hand. We have done it this way for years. Lastly, the ability to legally administer Narcan to an opiate abusing fugitive mitigates potential health issues, but they are extremely upset when you take their high away! Many LEA are using this now and claiming many lives saved, although I still don't know how you quantify a death that has not occurred.
