i am unable to see ambulance, fire, schools (which are not your responsibility - noted), DPW, or anything else that was asked for

thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Annemarie Krusznis,

you wrote in the body of your email (reply) "Policies, procedures, guidelines, standard operating procedures,
directives, code of conduct, employee handbook, general orders, medical
guidelines, medical protocols, medical director's protocols, as pertains
to paramus ambulance.

Paramus ambulance Attached.

Regulations are from Office of EMS, Dept of Health, Trenton, NJ under the
purview of Dr. Dreier Valley Hospital, Paramus, NJ. "

this suggests that the ambulance does follow their own particular set of policies or "regulations" which are not visible to your response.

there is also no way to OPRA a doctor from a privately owned hospital or the hospital itself, so i am relying on the borough to provide as required any regulations in your possession that are followed by any personnel

Yours sincerely,

samanthaspartans
