Free Webinar: Ambulance Security – Preventing Vehicle Theft and Understanding the Consequences
Ambulance theft is no longer a rare or isolated event—it is a predictable and growing operational risk. Industry data suggests that an ambulance is stolen approximately every two weeks in the United States, most often from hospital ambulance bays, but increasingly from active scenes. What was once considered an anomaly is now presenting serious and escalating consequences—including police pursuits, spike strip deployments, vehicle crashes, and situations where patients and crews are placed in harm’s way.
The uncomfortable truth is this: many of these incidents are preventable. This timely and practical webinar brings together operational leadership, regulatory insight, and legal expertise to examine ambulance security from every angle—what’s happening, why it matters, and what you can do about it now. The Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration (AIMHI), Pro EMS and Page Wolfberg & Wirth Advisory Group (PWWAG) are teaming up to help you address this issue.
