I am writing in response to the police blotter printed in the Sept. 4 Harvard Press. This issue’s entry contained several inaccuracies, incorrectly attributing the handling of several calls to the ambulance services of other towns.
Many of our EMTs were troubled by the first line of Thursday’s entry: “A series of 911 calls kept out-of-town EMTs busy Thursday morning.” The sentence gives the impression that those emergency calls were fielded primarily by out-of-town resources and not Harvard’s EMTs. The statement was both misleading to the readers and frustrating to our volunteer EMTs, who worked hard to cover those four calls.
