<br />M EDICAL <br /> <br />Sergeant B.J Stepan <br /> <br />All officers within the Centennial Lakes Police Department have, at minimum, an <br />initial First Responder level of medical training. First Responder training is <br />specifically designed for those in professions which respond to emergency medical <br />requests. The training provided instructs responders in the use of various types of <br />medical equipment; including, but not limited to, Automatic External Defibrillators <br />(AED), oxygen equipment and management, bleeding control and spine stabilization <br />equipment. Centennial Lakes Police Department prides itself on the level of training <br />and proficiency of our officers in response to medical emergencies. <br /> <br />For the year 2007, officers responded to 355 requests for medical assistance. The <br />average response time of officers from dispatch to arrival is just under 3 minutes. <br />Once on scene, officers work with ambulance and fire personnel to assist those in <br />need. <br /> <br />Our officers wish to recognize the support and assistance of the Centennial Fire <br />Department, the Lexington Fire Department and, of course, North Ambulance and <br />Allina Ambulance Services. We are proud of the incredible work done by these <br />agencies and we are always striving to improve the service provided to our <br />communities. <br /> <br />29 <br />
