The Taylor Mill Police Department now has two new automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, for their police cruisers.
Provided by Covington Moose Lodge #1469, the donations coincide with a broader effort in both the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati region to equip police cruisers with AEDs as police often arrive to emergency sites before other first responders.
“Having AEDs in our patrol cars is essential for our officers to respond quickly and effectively to cardiac emergencies,” said Taylor Mill Police Chief James E. Mills Jr. “This donation from the Moose Lodge is a crucial step toward our goal of having an AED in every police vehicle, ensuring that we are prepared to save lives whenever the need arises.”
The department aims to continue raising money to equip more of its cruisers with AEDs. If you’d like to donate to the program, contact the Taylor Mill Police Department at (859)581-1192.
