Maryland State Police MEDEVAC Helicopter EMS First Responder Tribute
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 бер 2020
- For over 50 years the Maryland State Police Aviation command has been providing MEDEVAC and emergency services to the citizens of Maryland. This video montage is a tribute to the amazing men and women who serve in the Maryland State Police Aviation Command and first responders that watch over us every day. They are our modern day guardian angels. This video project would not have been possible without the express permission of the Maryland State Police and the University of Maryland Medical Center as well as the help, direct support, and encouragement of my friends, colleagues, and family. I want to personally thank everyone that made this video possible, without you this would have only been a forgotten conversation.
The music in this video is a Hans Zimmer piece called "Lost but Won". I don't have the Master rights to this video but Watertower music said I shouldn't have a problem using this song if I don't monetize this video.
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy this video. - Фільми й анімація
My Dad (RIP 2021) was a medevac pilot and stationed for the most part at Frederick flying Trooper 3. After working the road starting in 1963, he began his pilot career in the Bell Jet Ranger in 1975 and went on to the Aerospatiale Dauphin in 1989. He retired in 1990 and flew as a civilian pilot until 2000. He did not get the opportunity to fly the AW 139. He was an outstanding pilot. The MD Aviation Program is the absolute BEST. I am so very proud of my Dad and his accomplishments during his 38.5 year career with the MD State Police. Thank you all for your valuable and life saving service ! 💛🖤❤🤍 (P.S. Love the Hans Zimmer music - his music was a favorite of my Dad's. 🥰)
I wish I was 20 years younger!
When I was an EMS volunteer, it was always an honor to work with the aviation command.
The ABSOLUTE best in the business. I am a volunteer firefighter/emt. I've worked in 2 counties in Maryland. I've had the pleasure of working with these fine men and women for over a 40 plus year span. Their dedication , bravery and compassion are unquestionable.
I wish everyone could walk in their shoes. They deserve our utmost respect!
It was best job I had for 23 years.
Was the pay good? Not to be disrespectful or anything but curious to know what the benefits/pay is like. Is there promotions like SGT, LT.
Looking to say hello to the guys who flew me to bay view in 2001
Spent 27 years flying in the industry and had the pleasure of knowing several of these folks. First class operation.
RAC Shock trauma is as good as it gets as well.
Thank you Maryland State Police Aviation Command and to ALL OF MARYLAND'S FINEST.
Medevac saved my friends life after a horrible accident... I'm forever thankful!
This was one of the best tributes I have every seen. The video clips and how the music works so well with them and the tempo of the tribute. An absolute beautiful piece of work for all the 1st responders that serve and protect us everyday.
Thank you!
Love their AW139s. My favorite helicopter of all time
I will never forget the 23 years I spent working as a Paramedic manning one of those aircraft!
hello i’m interested in becoming a flight medic i was wondering what are the Qualifications
j_m_o_n_y for the Maryland State Police you’ll need to be a Paramedic and become a State Trooper. For civilian Medevac most places will require you to be a Paramedic with a minimum of 3 years of experience on the road.
@@yellowthunder92 I'm from the UK so I'm used to ours carrying two critical care paramedics and on about half a doctor, frequently a trauma specialist though your starting to see doctors who specialises in pre hospital emergency medicine
Great Video Thank You! January 12, 2021..I was pulled from the cold waters of the Chesapeake Bay.. Many Thanks to AA Co. Fireboat 41, Maryland State Police MEDEVAC, and UM Medical Center.... Because of them...And Robin who called 911..... I am Alive today.
I loved helping set up an LZ in my volunteer fire dept for these guys, it was badass hearing the roar of the engines & watching them overhead come in for a landing.
My grandpa worked in the md medavac and seeing this made him
Smile
Thanks for his service
Words cannot describe the beauty of this video, nor the professionals who are a part of this. Thank you. As an UMMS employee, I am honored and proud.
Best there is!!!
Life from above. Thank you. LACo Air 5, the 70s.
I like maryland state police they are pretty unique pretty unit to serve the citizens of maryland and do different law enforcement jobs and also as well being emts and paramedics
Thank you (trooper 3?) For saving my mom's life on 26 January
Best group of flight crews I ever worked with
Very cool! I rode in the old one in the 80's from an accident scene to our local trauma center in Hagerstown when I was a CRT.
Great video production.
I’ve personally seen this helicopter probably a hundred times
우리아들 최고!

Amazing crew! Awesome!
Brilliant, good job....
That is an awesome video.
Proud of my state.
Thanks to all MSP troopers, aviation or not!
Gotta love STC!
Great job oppa!
Entertaining video, and MSP serves as the pluperfect example of how every state should utilize police-based aviation to best address the needs of every call for service. That is, life always comes first. Problems is, specifically regarding the HEMS role, the United States continues to operate under an outdated, inefficient model designed to quickly deliver the patient to a trauma specialist instead of vise-versa. That wastes precious minutes, and there aren't many of them to spare in scenarios that warrant a dustoff to begin with.
Very nicely done! Fly safe!
Thanks Steve!
Amazing video
Very well produced video. The MSP aviation evacuation is one if not the best in the USA.
God I miss Maryland
Awesome!
I see the state trooper helicopter all the time when I'm fishing
Incredible 😪👏🙌
God bless my MSP family.
This is my dream job
Ah yes police are playing firefighter and paramedic, Just giving yall hell yall do some great work
So we are so important
Sure have come a long way from the days of The Bell Jet Ranger II.
🤘
Why are they wearing such flamboyant fighter pilot costumes if they are merely chopper pilots 😂😂😂😂😂
Rip Lippy
One time I had a grand pap he almost got life flighted to Morgantown wv by trooper 5 and the weather was bad so he had to ride in the ambulance to Morgantown West Virginia
Wow, what an excellent work you guys are doing! Are you looking to reinforce your pilot-workforce? I am interested!
We are always looking for qualified pilots! If you look at the end credits, there is information and websites you can look up!
Also be safe during COVID-19
I was taken from Cecile Co by I think trooper 1 Joe an Joe pilot trooper back 2001 to bay view burn center just wanted to say thankyou again I meet yall at the st fair once if anybody knows the two guy halor back please
Each Destination for Maryland State police helicopter is Baltimore Johns Hopkins bay view & burn center, Johns Hopkins Hospital, University of Maryland Baltimore Shock Trauma for PG Hospital, Medstar Hospital in Washington DC
Is Suburban no longer a Level 1?
@@joewilson9744 I've actually flown a patient to Suburban Hospital this year for the first time of my 5 years. Only because the patient needed some kind of special treatment of some sort. It's extremely rare to take patients there these days.
What was marylands old medevac helo called? The one that had the enclosed tailrotor? Vivid memories of that helicopter in my childhood.
AS365 N3 Dauphin
I want to study to be this but I’m not sure if I’m capable of even accomplishing it
You can do it!
Go for it.
Does anyone know how hard it is to be a paramedic on the helicopter
The two biggest prerequisites is get a Paramedic Certification (just over 1,100 hours of school) and become a Maryland State Trooper (6 month academy with a year working the road). Mission wise they need to be very knowledgeable, good with critical thinking and make important decisions on the fly. They can't be afraid of heights or if they're afraid of heights they'll need to find a way to deal with it while hanging off a steel rope from the aircraft. With all of that they're a Trooper which means they have additional responsibilities to tend to as a Trooper.
Because last year I was thinking about going to school to be a paramedic on the helicopter but I got a tour of trooper 5 witch is in Cumberland Maryland and the paramedic said to join my local fire department and learn EMT stuff first but I am a cadet in the Deep creek volunteer fire department which is in Garrett County Maryland
@@DerekCosner The Medic you talked to gave you great advice. You need to start somewhere and working as a volunteer and getting your EMT-B is how you do it. In order to become a Paramedic you can either pay out of your own pocket which will cost in the ballpark of $6,000 to $9,000 or you can find other means with a good attitude and being a good teammate. Since you're already a volunteer at a fire house I would ask around and find your path towards becoming a Paramedic. The state is hurting for Paramedics and I'm sure you will find a way if you're willing to work for it.
The AW139 are from italy
So the flight medics are also state troopers dual trained? Thats kinda unusual lol
Yes, our program requires that you be a Paramedic. New Jersey State Police for example is the opposite. The pilots are New Jersey State Troopers while the medics are civilians.
how many years as a medic should you have before applying?
It's recommended you have a couple years of experience, you can however apply right after completing your certifications.
@@yellowthunder92 Thanks! Hope to join you guys in the near future 🙏
Is the pay good?
Absolutely, you'll be generously paid in job satisfaction!
So how does that work? If the pilots are flying a state police helicopter and im assuming they get paid by the state for the flight hours, then how are they not state troopers? I mean yes they might not have law enforcement training but is that a requirement for the job they are doing?
The Pilots are Civilian employees of the Maryland State Police, they carry MSP ID's that say "Civilian". Kinda like fancy buss drivers that get to fly fancy helicopters and get a type rating too. Oh the pilots have to go through a entire Polygraph sessions. MSP wants well qualified and skilled pilots to fly the complex aircraft that they employ but also understand that it would take several years build up a Trooper pilot with the experience some civilian pilot would already have.
Switzerland policy and sekurite it digital sistem policy 2022
$1,000,000 bill
That's all? You use a medevac Groupon or something? Cost me a lot more. Like my first born child and 2 silver fillings out of my teeth from old cavities
Lol
U don't pay for a medevac in Maryland
It would be nice to have someone TALKING giving info about the personnel, and places they were at...!!! BBC does a much better job at their Air Ambulance shows.
I have great respect for these professionals and the Maryland state police in general. However, this EMS service is monopolized by the State (thru taxpayer funded resources) and therefore, no civilian medevac/EMS can compete. That in turn greatly restricts competition by a civilian provider for the obvious reasons that no company can compete with the State. The state should stay in their domain of law enforcement and allow civilian companies to provide EMS throughout the State. That said, I say again, I have the utmost respect for Maryland State Police and all who work in the aviation unit.
Maryland State Police Aviation gets their funding through vehicle registration which covers about 80% of the cost. The remaining 20% is covered through federal funding from sources such as Homeland Security. Since Maryland was the first state to provide Helicopter Medevac in this country it will always be in existence most likely. There was a time when MSP aviation provided all Medevac services in the state but this is no longer the case. Private civilian Helicopter EMS providers handle all Hospital to Hospital Medevac operations exclusively while MSP handles all scene Medevacs exclusively. The only time a MSP helicopter provided Hospital or Hospital Medevac or if Private providers handle a scene Medevac is under extreme circumstances.
Therefore, all ambulance service should be provided by private companies? We hear this complaint periodically, usually stemming from the large helicopter services companies and their affiliates and lobbyists.
