What Ventura County Event Medical Standby, LLC does

Ventura County Event Medical Standby, LLC (VCEMS) is a privately held, California-based professional services firm that provides on-site certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) staffing for special events. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Simi Valley, California, the company serves Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara Counties, covering cities such as Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and the San Fernando Valley. It is the largest Special Event Medical Services company in Ventura County and is authorized by the Ventura County Emergency Medical Services Agency as an EMT AED Service Provider, permitting its EMTs to carry and use AEDs at events. Customers include school districts, municipal event organizers, non-union film and TV productions, and private event holders, with use cases spanning high school and youth sports (including AB-2300 youth football compliance), concerts, fairs, festivals, marathons, cycling races, mud runs, and political events.

The company's core product is on-site Basic Life Support (BLS) coverage delivered by California state-certified EMTs equipped with standard medical gear (AED, oxygen, backboard, splints, airway devices, glucose, and trauma supplies), supplemented by an optional Responder Golf Cart for rapid on-site response. There is no proprietary technology platform; the service is a labor-intensive staffing model, with EMTs recruited as part-time workers and offered reciprocal training credits through affiliated parent company Safety Unlimited, Inc. The revenue model is professional services on a per-event, quote-based pay-as-you-go arrangement, with pricing determined by event type, duration, staffing requirements, and geographic location. VCEMS was acquired by Safety Unlimited, Inc. in July 2021 and now operates as a strategic subsidiary, with Mark Komins (Paramedic) serving as EMS Director under owner/CEO Jules Griggs.
