Any department that is hiring will take an EMT-P as a first choice. I don't think that you would get extra credit for being a trigger puller, but the physical fitness and grace under pressure will look good in an interview.

Very best of luck in your new career!

There are still some departments that PSO, firefighter and police officer. They getting fewer, but they are still out there. Maybe the IAFF has a list of those or the Fraternal Order of Police Officers. Good luck.
