The Office of EMS and Trauma is responsible for protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public by assuring that emergency medical services provided by ambulance services, emergency medical response agencies, training entities and emergency medical technicians meet or exceed established standards.

The Office of EMS and Trauma investigates complaints and may exercise its authority to deny, place on probation, suspend or revoke the licensure of an ambulance service, training entity, emergency medical response agency, and emergency medical technician when statutory or regulatory violation is substantiated.

All applicants (initial or re-licensure) for emergency medical technician licensure must undergo a criminal background check before being approved for Alabama licensure.
