If this policy gains support, it can spread to other agencies and allow for many people to be armed on medical scenes.

The Act is hailed by many as important in supporting the emergency services community. In 2015, the Act was reauthorized for an additional 75 years of support, something many fought for as the deadline approached for the renewal and nothing had been discussed.

In response to

Since I've-Been-Violated was the only one I could figure out, I have a detailed description:

The app starts with a registration page asking for name, phone number, and email. It also asks for access to the camera. The next page is a terms of use defining the contract you are entering when downloading and registering for the app. The information page has instructions:

  1. Begin to tell your story by following the on-screen instructions. The Red Button will start and stop the video recording. You have the option to record an individual video is needed. There wil be three separate screens, each prompting you on what to say.
  2. An encrypted record of you story is created and stored for future retrieval (through the proper channels) on our offline storage servers. NO video will be available directly to you or anyone else.
  3. When and if you are ready to tell your story to the appropriate authorities, the app will bolster your credibility by giving these authorities access to evidence that you recorded approximately contemporaneously with the incident.
  4. Please consider getting help from the appropriate medical authorities.

The interface is simple with a button to start the log, the info button, and the personal info icon (wich you can update)
