iver Date: <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />**ITEM 3.3.** <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Assistant Chief Beahe~ <br /> <br />November 18, 1998 <br /> <br />Automated External Defibrillator Grant <br /> <br />The police department has received a grant from the Minnesota Department of Public <br />Safety awarding us a Heartstream Automated External Defibrillator. This device will be <br />placed linto use by the patrol division and will be used in medical emergencies involving <br />sudden death or cardiac arrest. <br /> <br />The police department has defibrillators now, but not enough to have each on-duty <br />squad equipped with one. This additional unit should insure that each patrol vehicle <br />working during a given shift is equipped with this very critical device. Because we cover <br />such a large geographical area, this will help insure better emergency medical care for <br />our entire community. <br /> <br />The department is required to submit a resolution showing the acceptance of the device <br />from the state. In return we agree to keep our staff trained in the use of the device and <br />also aglree to provide the state with results showing the device's use during the year. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
