Police and Paramedics in Partnership

Police and Paramedics in Partnership

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Police and paramedics . . . riding together.  The cadence reminded me of Bill Murray’s line from Ghostbusters–” . . . dogs and cats living together . . .”–but we’re not facing a disaster of Biblical proportions.  Rather, it seems to be a smart alliance to conserve resources. As reported in This is Local London, paramedics will ride with police officers on the weekends to patrol incidents that include fights and car crashes.  By having the paramedics readily available, injuries can be assessed more quickly, and the police can be left to handle any criminal aspects of the investigation. That way, ambulances can be reserved for those who may really need it, instead of being called out to each and every incident. It remains to be seen whether the program is successful, but it raises good food for thought: are there any partners you can collaborate with–even on a limited basis–that could help you do your work more efficiently and save costs?

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
