This morning, we had the privilege of providing CPR and Stop the Bleed training to students of the Ross Township Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy.

Over the course of several weeks, students get unique insight into the training and day to day life of a law enforcement officer.

As a bonus, interested students can spend a morning with us for the same hands-on life saving training that we provide to our township’s police officers.

Early, effective CPR and bleeding control are critical to patient survival and often our officers are the first to arrive on emergency scenes putting them in position to dramatically improve a patient’s chance of survival prior to us arriving with more advanced care.

Thank you to our public safety partners and to these students for their interest!
