Cooper University is the level one trauma center for the southern part of the state. The New Jersey State Police operate the state’s medevac helicopters and the crew are (at least were) state troopers. The chopper is available for police work when it is not otherwise engaged. Although a broken leg could be a femur fracture and life threatening, it could also be precautionary on the part of the state police.
Thanks for the explanation. You’d think there’d be a level one trauma center in Atlantic City - it certainly has a large enough population between the residents, gamblers and summer renters.
