Public Safety Analyst Jobs in Riverside, CA (NOW HIRING)

The Job ** THIS IS A CONFIRE POSITION ONLY ** CONFIRE is a separate entity from San Bernardino County and the Fire Protection District. CONFIRE, JPA is seeking an EMS Training Manager responsible for coordinating system-wide EMS training, monitoring compliance with required EMS standards, and supporting workforce development within CONFIRE's regional EMS transport system. This management-level position exercises independent judgment in evaluating training needs, aligning multi-agency and subcontractor training requirements, coordinating training opportunities, and maintaining comprehensive training documentation to ensure system readiness.

Unlike traditional EMS training roles, this position focuses on contract-required training oversight, interagency coordination, subcontractor compliance, and system-level alignment rather than the operation of an internal EMS academy or exclusive delivery of instruction. The EMS Training Manager works under the direction of the EMS and Transport Director and collaborates closely with subcontracted ambulance provider training staff, public agency partners, the Medical Director, Compliance Analysts, and other stakeholders to ensure the effective, consistent, and compliant delivery of EMS training across the region.

The CONFIRE Communications Center's primary function is to provide 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year fire, EMS, rescue, and other public safety dispatch services to agencies throughout the region. Beyond its direct dispatch responsibilities, the Communications Center also serves as the San Bernardino County (XBO) Operational Area dispatch center, coordinating fire, local government, law enforcement, and emergency medical resources during large-scale incidents. CONFIRE is also preparing to launch a countywide ambulance transport system that will further integrate emergency communications and EMS operations while enhancing regional service delivery.
