American Legion Jersey Boys State
A Week That Shapes the Future

The 100% volunteer staff of American Legion Jersey Boys State each session assembles a team of certified EMT's and other public safety professionals to staff ALJBS EMS. A central location for EMS services is established in one of the dormitories on the Rider University campus; however, the EMS staff additionally serve as Counselors in the cities around campus. City Counselors are the first point of contact and will refer cases to the ALJBS EMS staff as warranted. Additionally, the ALJBS Dean of Public Safety coordinates with Rider Public Safety and with local Lawrenceville, Lawrence Township and Capital Health EMS Services to coordinate care. For immediate medical attention, please dial 9-1-1. Should you require any type of medical attention, please inform your Counselor. Should an emergency arise, your Counselor is well briefed on procedures to follow to get you immediate aid.

All medication taken by a statesman must be identified and declared to the statesman's Senior City Counselor, who will inform a member of the ALJBS EMS staff as appropriate. Statesman with non-narcotic medication who currently self-medicate are able to do so at Jersey Boys State with parental consent. Narcotic medication and medication that requires administration by a nurse MUST be reported to your counselor and WILL be stored and secured in the EMS office. Narcotic medication cannot be stored in a statesman's room. Any medication requiring refrigeration will be stored in the EMS office. If a statesman is prescribed a narcotic or needs assistance with taking their medication, a consultation with EMS Staff, the statesman's Senior City Counselor and the statesman (with parents/guardians, if needed) will occur on Sunday to create a schedule of administration based on the statesman's needs. All medical information will be kept confidential and secured during the session.
