I am pleased to announce that Toronto Paramedic Services has procured Apple iPhone 12 smartphones for all Paramedic staff currently in the workplace, and a rollout of individual issue smartphones will commence in the coming months.
The procurement of individual issue smartphones is the result of a comprehensive plan developed in collaboration with TCEU Local 416, and based on interest from Paramedic staff and from subsequent feedback collected from the 2023 Staff Communications Survey.
A smartphone trial group was launched in November 2023, which included 10 Operations Paramedics. Following the receipt of valuable feedback from the trial participants, the group was expanded in February 2024.
Each iPhone 12 smartphone will come with an OtterboxDefender case, a charger, and a setup guide.Superintendents will issue the devices, facilitate devicesetup, and provide supporting information. Paramedics are required to acknowledge receipt of the device and that they understand the City of Toronto Acceptable Use Policy.
If you have any questions, please speak with your Superintendent.
Sincerely,
(Original signed by)
