Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday signed legislation mandating that the FDNY provide body armor to emergency medical services (EMS) workers and train them in self-defense and de-escalation techniques.
Adams, a former NYPD captain, said EMS — which includes emergency medical technicians and paramedics — workers are “selfless heroes, who show up when we need them the most.”
