Joplin Police Department adds lifesaving equipment

(From Joplin Police Department)

The Joplin Police Department introduces a new piece of equipment in hopes of saving lives.

In celebration of opening their 1000th store, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation donated a Zoll AED (automated external defibrillator) to the police department. Knowing law enforcement is often the first to arrive on scene, local Firehouse Subs franchise owner Jason Pullman partnered with the department to help deliver lifesaving medical treatment in a timelier manner to the community.

Having the AED will allow responding officers the ability to help in resuscitation efforts of people suffering from cardiac arrest.

The Police Department is always looking for partnerships in the community. This is another outstanding example of the community working together to benefit one another.
