Kent County graduates first class of paramedic trainees
DOVER — Kent County’s first class of paramedic trainees graduated Aug. 11 and are now full-fledged employees of the Department of Public Safety’s Emergency Medical Services Division.
Daniel Walterscheid, Larry Trey Thompson and Laylee Whitaker graduated from the Good Fellowship Ambulance & EMS Training Institute in West Chester, Pennsylvania, through the county’s paramedic trainee program, adopted by Levy Court in June 2021.
Under the initiative, Kent County pays tuition and related costs, salary and benefits for the trainees while they attend an approved paramedic training course, with an obligation to work a minimum of three years.
Following the success of the first class, five additional candidates are being considered for the upcoming year.
