Thank you to the Hemsley Charitable Trust and the University of Minnesota for providing Minnesota Law Enforcement with new state-of-the-art AED's.
This is a 3-year project with a goal to equip every law enforcement vehicle in the state with an AED and to train agencies to deliver immediate care prior to EMS arrival.
Today Sheriff Guenther attended training with members of other local law enforcement agencies on the use of the AED's, and will in turn train the deputies of the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office. The Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office will be receiving 15 AED's in the coming months, enough to equip each deputy's squad car.
Sheriff Guenther says: "This project is a great opportunity for the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office and the community. Our deputies are typically the first on scene and having the AED's in their squad cars will allow them to provide life-saving aid before EMS arrival."
