About Us


On May 4, 1998 the Jackson Parish Policy Jury created an ordinance establishing the Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District.

​The motion was made by Charles Garrett and seconded by Ernest Conn.  Voting Police Jury Members were:  David McManus, Leslie Thompson, and Troy Smith.  The effective date of the ordinance was June 1, 1998.

The first board of commissioners were:  Ms. Jerri Costin, David Craig, Joe Vail, Herbert Simmons Jr. and Larry Avery.

The ambulance service was stationed at Jackson Parish Hospital until January 2009. Since then, we have grown.  We now have 2 stations and a dedicated Training Facility.

The Main Office/Station is located at:
