Identification and Security

To ensure a certain level of security and to further the professional image expected of all Council employees, all WVEMS staff members will be issued and must wear their official ID badges while on official Council business outside the office when in any environment where identification badges are required or would be beneficial.

Badges are not required inside Council offices, but must be worn and displayed when outside the office on Council business at facilities such as hospitals, government offices or other governmental facilities, training centers, fire departments and EMS agencies.

A Council employee will be assigned to maintain the ID badge system, and will issue the appropriate badge to WVEMS staff. Employees must immediately report all missing, stolen or damaged badges to the assigned employee.

Alarm codes, keys to Council property, access codes, and other access control devices will be issued to Council employees from time to time. All remain the property of WVEMS and must be surrendered upon request. Such access control devices and information must not be shared with anyone other than other Council employees without express permission of your supervisor.
