The city council should look in these matters as well. Interim Chief Batiste nor Compton Fire and most importantly the RESIDENTS of Compton are not viewed as competent or worthy as their white counterparts in other cities. I would direct urban girls to look in to discrminatory actions of DHS, McCormick first, as that might lead to a broader picture of what’s really at stake here. Case in point, DHS is now targeting Compton’s paramedic program just the same as the BLS program. It is also widely know than whether or not Compton submitted the RFP the award was still going to be granted to McCormick because of the financial stakes. Other predominantly white Fire Dept.s have not had to face the same scrutiny, all the while practicing the same model of service. And continually doing so without provocation.
It is widely known that DHS has targeted Compton Fire Dept. DHS put undue discriminatory pressure on the City of Compton as they saw it as a resource for financial gain. Either she or some of her family owns a share in the company. Cathy Chidester who is the head of LA County DHS has vested interest in McCormick. How much will their campaign coffers increase for another favorable vote for McCormick? Mayor Aja Brown is up for re-election in April, along with council members Isaac Galvan and Tana McCoy. Wasn’t this one of the items the sales tax increase is supposed to cover? Hopefully McCormick is keeping meticulous records to pay the city the correct tax at year’s end.Ģ Urban Girls has obtained a copy of the memo from interim fire chief, Bryan Batiste, stating “the city is not legally obligated to provide BLS services” only Advanced Life Support and fire related activities.

McCormick and the Torrance firefighters, funded an independent expenditure that conspired to get Furey another term. Torrance mayor Pat Furey, recently came under fire after it was found the company contributed $25,000 to his re-election campaign in 2014, that weren’t reported. This author has visions of Pat Furey’s recent state fines dancing in her head. As the lone provider for many cities, McCormick is becoming a monopoly of ambulatory services. After failing to respond to a key LA County RFP to provide “Basic Life Support” (BLS) services, the city of Compton will forgo hiring regular employees to save money by contracting with McCormick Ambulance. Are McCormick Ambulance and the Compton Fire Department in cahoots? The city of Compton doesn’t want to pay to save their resident’s lives.
