GEORGE “THEO” THEOFANOUS![]()
![]()
George Theofanous, more commonly known by his nickname, Theo, began his career in EMS in the early 90s, having worked as a paramedic on the 911 side of a private ambulance company in Central Florida. While there, he also worked in the dispatch center for the non-emergency division. Obtaining his fire certification, he then moved over to the busy, ALS, county fire department that ended up absorbing the private ambulance company. Theo then went to the dark side into law enforcement, ultimately taking employment with a large county sheriff’s office. As he was still a member of the training division for the fire department, he helped fashion the Tactical Medic role for the SWAT team and assisted in the creation of policies and protocols. Subsequent to his roles as Lead Medical Instructor, Field Training Officer, and Honor Guard member for the agency, he ultimately retired as a full-time Tactical Flight Officer with the Aviation Unit. After relocating to Colorado, he took a position with the Vail Police Department, working in their 911 Center. While there, he sat on a committee to design, and have produced, a new Mobile Communications Center vehicle. Currently, Theo is employed with the Communications Center of Med Evac, based out of Greeley, Colorado. In his five-year tenure, he has held positions as a Communications Specialist, Communications Training Officer, and Director. He is a Certified Medical Transport Executive and has served as board member and instructor for the International Association of Medical Transport Communication Specialists. Theo’s presentation, “Our Attitude Affects Their Altitude,” will touch on the consideration of what happens on both sides of the radio. Considering what every team members’ roles are, inside and out of the communication center, helps us become more efficient and understanding, and helps create a safer, more cohesive organization. ![]()
