How is Gloucester County EMS performing and how has regionalizing improved EMS for those municipalities that join?
The performance of the regionalized system is evaluated on a call by call basis. Review of the first year of performance found that calls for service are answered with an average response time under 6 minutes. These statistics show that the regional system operates well under the 8 minute, 59 second “Gold Standard” response time goal adopted by the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Significant cost savings have been realized by the participating municipalities, saving local tax dollars.
