Shout Out to the Flint Fire Ambulance Team!!!!! 🚑

Yesterday morning, our officers arrested an individual who needed medical attention.

When the Flint Fire Ambulance team arrived, they immediately demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and genuine care!!! Their crew calmly attended to the gentleman's injuries, treated him with dignity, and provided the medical attention he needed!

We often talk about the importance of compassionate public service, and yesterday was a great example of it in action. The Flint Fire Ambulance team showed patience, empathy, and a commitment to helping others, regardless of the circumstances.

We think this deserves a shout-out and a well-earned high five! Our community is fortunate to have such dedicated professionals serving Flint every day!!!

Thank you, Flint Fire Ambulance Team, for the outstanding work you do and for representing the very best of public service.🙂
