They have just not written as many tickets, she said. As a result, the ty paramedic program and ambulance service will receive about 8 to 10 percent less than its 1990 figure of $17,418. The dollar amount each medical program is provided is based on a formula of county population and department size. . K.D. Simpson, chief deputy of operations for the Davis Sheriffs Department,: said the decrease in the funds will reduce the amount spent on equipment replacement and officer training. That is the area in which the grant money is spent on, he said. However, Simpson said the Davis program did receive $19,000 in grant application funds to purchase a new ambulance and a defibrillator, a machine used for patients in cardiac arrest. Those funds the county receives in grant money involve matching funds to come from the department. 1$ IwW I b.jL5e,b-'Yi - V- 1 r bilb f? I f b 1 I fI Jf V i ' K.
