BOONE COUNTY – On Feb. 25, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office received two Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) from MercyRockfordEMS Systems.
MercyRockford EMS also provided the Sheriff’s Office with replacement batteries and pads for the department’s other 30 AEDs. The donation was a grant received through the Rockford Memorial Development Foundation.
In addition to the donation, MercyRockford EMS trained all Sheriff’s deputies and other sworn personnel in CPR and the use of the AEDs. All officers were certified through the American Heart Association.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank MercyRockford EMS System for their generous donation.
