The website for NJ says that it's free for volunteers,

you must present a Certificate of Eligibility

. I've heard that Lakewood Hatzalah offers those (for non-members), anybody know if that's true and how I would obtain one of those?

They do not offer it for non-members.
You can join any local squad and they can give you the certificate you need.

Can you please elaborate? I would really like to get an EMT license, but can't really afford it at the moment.

If you live in NJ, you can join any local volly squad(even with out EMT certification).
The squad has the ability to give you a sort of grant from the state. It does not include books and equipment you are required to buy.

Do they have such a thing for NY

[semper fi]

Do they have such a thing for NY

I remember hearing that the state does offer one, I don't know for sure. There are very few volly squads in the city. Best way for both of you, would be to call or drop by  a local squad and speak with a line officer.

Any benefit or disadvantage of getting Emt plates in ny?

Any benefit or disadvantage of getting Emt plates in ny?

Besides a lesser chance of getting a ticket, nothing really.

+1 on my father's car they sometimes put in the EMT/VAS as part of the plate number

I heard that if you have EMT or VAS plates, and you pass an accident your obligated to stop, not sure if thats true or not

[yochiek93]

Can't be true what if I take my father's car I have to stop I'm not an EMT
But if its the EMT if he stops he can't leave.

Vas definitely doesn't have too as it just means your a member of a volly. Also, emt plates are vanity plates,  they don't actually mean anything. If you have a doh sticker and a plaque then it is different.
As far as tickets, the Vas or emt is the kind o f plate and not part of it, so if they ticket you as plate Vas2558 it's an invalid ticket

It definitely is supposed to be added to the license plate number, VAS goes before the number and EMT/EMTP goes after. We have all three of them in our family, so I know this stuff . The place where most tickets are invalidated is on the plate type, regular is PAS, VAS is VAS and EMT/EMTP is SRF

Just want to chime in for a min. It does not cost the sponsoring squad a dime. All they do is give you a paper that you are a possibly  a future member. This is the way it was a few years ago. I am not sure if it changed.

some places in lakewood started making you promise a certain amount of hours bec everyone was asking them.

In my class in Monmouth medical, almost everyone had a sponsor.

Ok but your wrong as that's exactly what happened to me. Vas is not part of the number. Emt may be, I don't have that but Vas is the type of plate.
