The Gloucester Township EMS Alliance’s main goal is to the serve the residents of Gloucester Township, Camden County, and the surrounding communities without using taxpayer money, while helping to employ approximately 45 local residents in the process. The EMS Alliance is a separate career-based company assisting and funding the volunteer squads in the township, saving the taxpayers a significant amount of money each year. The squad houses 9 ambulances to serve the residents and has the capability of adding an additional 6 ambulances within a maximum of 30 minutes from the surrounding areas.

As an integral part of the police department, the EMS Alliance has developed an educated, Tactical EMT Team to assist the Gloucester Township Police Special Response Unit during high risk assignments. The EMS Alliance, through its monthly accident reports and ongoing assistance, helps the police garner grants. The EMS Alliance works hand-in-hand with the Fire Department and Gloucester Township to help serve its residents without incurring any additional costs to the taxpayers and striving to prevent any resident from receiving a bill for services.

As many residents of the community themselves, members of the Gloucester Township EMS Alliance are involved in every aspect of the community. The EMS Alliance provides scholarships for high school students wishing to enter the medical field, provides drills, training and education for residents, the fire department and police department, and participates in community activities like the Halloween Parade, Gloucester Township Day, local run’s, and charity organizations. Without hesitation, during the tragedy of 9/11, the EMS Alliance sent its members up to New York to volunteer with search, rescue, standby and clean-up. Additionally, many members of the Gloucester Township EMS Alliance can be found donating time as umpires for little league and to other like community groups.
