JFK EMS Records
Dear Piscataway Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
- Staff schedules for JFK EMS units dedicated to Piscataway from September 6, 2021 to present November 15, 2021. **Section 3.1 of the executed contract requires three dedicated ambulances for the Township. In the JFK bid submission an entire staff roster of those employees who could perform the work was included. It is reasonably understood that this information would be available to the Township and regularly audited by the Township.
- GPS data from JFK's EMS Anyware unit tracking system for JFK EMS units dedicated to Piscataway from September 6, 2021 to present November 15, 2021. Information can be provided in any form and shall include unit location, number and availability status. **An OPRA request filed on August 10, 2021 included communication between the Township and JFK EMS indicating that this information would be shared. It is reasonably understood that this information would be available to the Township and regularly audited by the Township.
- All CAD reports for JFK EMS units when they called in-service/available or out of service/unavailable for instances such as crew change, end of shift, etc. to the Piscataway Township Police Department PSAP. ** CAD records are kept electronically and can be searched using a keyword function. It is reasonably understood that this information would be available to the Township and regularly audited by the Township.
- NEMSIS reports for September and October of 2021 as filed with the NJ DOH as per the reporting standard found in N.J.S.A 26:2K-67 with the Piscataway Police Department PSAP falling under the definition of an "emergency medical services dispatch center" found in N.J.A.C. 26:2K-66. Further information on this reporting standard including a template can be found at: https://healthsurveys.nj.gov/NoviSurvey/...
**This information is considered to be readily available as the Township is mandated to file monthly reports and the specified months have already passed in full
- Records of all requests and responses made for meetings between JFK EMS (HMH) and all "[o]ther governmental agencies, fire companies, police and others who may work with, alongside or access the services of HMH" as required under section 2.2 to the executed JFK EMS contract. **Included requests shall be from any party, regardless of government affiliation, as this covers all services and users in full that may interact with JFK EMS.
Yours faithfully,
E.M. Smith
