Stolen EMT Certificates

This story is somewhat troubling. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has found that someone stole 124 blank Emergency Medical Technician Certificates that, when signed, would certify a person as a basic EMT, authorized to conduct lifesaving procedures. The theft follows other recent embarrassments to the department, specifically, allegations of cheating and irregularities in test scoring. Taken together, the problems place the validity of Colorado EMT Certifications in question. There's more at the link.
