Pope County EMS Employee Spotlight

This week, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on Tyler Wiley, one of our dedicated part time EMTs and has recently completed our Field Training Program!

Tyler began his EMS journey at Arkansas Tech University, where he attended EMT school. He shared that he wanted to come ride with Pope County EMS because of the exceptional level of care he saw here not only in how our team treats patients, but also how they support students. After graduating his program, Tyler says our team continued to help him with studying and preparing for the NREMT, something he’s incredibly grateful for.

Outside of work, Tyler is a devoted husband and father to two girls. In his free time, you can find them cheering on the Razorbacks together or enjoying the outdoors camping as a family.

Tyler plans to take the next step in his EMS career by attending paramedic school in the near future, once he gains more hands-on experience as an EMT.

And don’t worry you aren’t seeing double! Tyler has an identical twin brother, Trey Wiley, who is a paramedic with our service. We’re proud to have both brothers serving our community.

Please join us in congratulating Tyler on completing the Field Training Program and thanking him for the compassion, dedication, and heart he brings to Pope County EMS!
