As a provider for nearly 30 years, I’ve watched PD and FD colleagues start and finish their respective careers and then retire before their body’s break down. EMS needs to be an essential service in NJ, no matter what the League of Municipalities says. Figure it out.

I have been an EMT since 1985 and full-time since 2005. Next year I can retire after 40 years of service.
There is no way that the lifespan of an EMT with the scope of work, call volume, PTSD, depression and exhaustion that we go through should we expected to do more time in a pension system then a firefighter or police officer and get less benefits.

PD gets the money. FD gets the love from the community. EMS gets the scraps.

As a former, currently retired, NJ paramedic I unequivocally support passage of this bill.
I gave 42 years as an EMT and Paramedic (retiring for job-related physical issues) , and have minimal pension (only because I had a plan thru my hospital employer).
I think it is time to repair the oversight, and provide for my brother's and sisters.

Pay and retirement was the direct reason for me leaving the service. EMS needs to be recognized as a third service.

EMS deserves higher wages and retirement plans! Our jobs are just as demanding as PD and FD if not more!
