About Me

Jay Fleming: In my younger days I was a volunteer firefighter for Morgan Acres, and a Captain on the Spokane Civil Defense Fire Department. We supported Spokane Fire on 2nd and 3rd alarm fires.I spent several years in Explorer Search and Rescue, before going into law enforcement. where I worked three years in uniform, including two years as a deputy coroner, and brand inspector..I also worked undercover narcotics for 12 years. Today I think our nations war on drugs is a failure. So I became a speaker for LEAP, Law Enforcement Action Partnership.I got my ham radio license in 1980, along with an interest in emergency communications. I spent a year working on an ALS ambulance, and a year doing psych transports for the ambulance company. I was trained as a Mobile Intensive Care Unit Paramedic at Daniel Freeman hospital in Inglewood California during the 1984 OlympicsAfter moving to Arizona I spent 5 years as a volunteer for the Bullhead City Crisis Intervention Team and the Arizona State crisis team.
