I've been an EMT-B in LACo for 4 years, spent 3 working for McCormick and Schaefer doing 911 and got some good experience, but decided to go back and finish school and part-time employment was hard to come by so I quit and got a job as a police cadet and took a pretty substantial pay cut in the process. I've decided that I want to get back into the field part-time so I'm looking for a "part-time friendly" company to work for. I know IFT companies are the only ones that offer part-time employment right off the bat and also know that 99% of them are pretty shady so does anyone know anything about Medic-1 or any other IFT company in LA thats got a good rep? They seem pretty legit but I'd much rather hear somebody that has had some experience with them...

What the hell is a police cadet? Do you mean you're in the police academy?
Some departments use the title of Police Cadet for academy students, but at my department, its a part-time position where we get experience and training while going to school. You have to go through the same hiring process as an officer (written test, interviews, backround process...) and then maintain the minimum number of required units and the minimum GPA to stay employed.

So, it's like an explorer program.
You're more "eyes and ears" for the actual officers.

Medic-1
I had a friend in college that worked for Medic-1. She really liked it and was always trying to get me to work with her. Good Luck!!
