External Defibrillators

Soon after the formation of the Police Foundation, we received a grant request from the Police Department to help fund AED’s for each of the Town’s police cars.

The Police Department already had AED’s in their patrol vehicles but those units were donated by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue over ten years ago. The technology was old and the batteries, as well as some of the units themselves, were starting to fail.

It is not at all uncommon for Juno Beach police officers to arrive on scene before units from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. It’s critical therefore that our police officers, who are also trained in CPR, have the equipment necessary to help improve your chances of survival from a sudden cardiac arrest.

The Foundation took action and made an immediate grant to the Town in the amount of $10,000 for the purchase of the latest AED technology.

With this new equipment our police officers can now employ the same technology that is used by emergency medical responders and physicians to restart a heart that has stopped beating.

While we are hopeful that the AED’s are seldom needed, we are proud of the fact that, through the generosity of our community, the Foundation was able to respond so quickly and place an AED in every Juno Beach police car.

Thoughts on public safety …

“Public safety is our most important value because it makes everything else possible. When we feel safe, we get to know our neighbors. When we feel safe, our kids are free to explore. When we feel safe, our businesses can thrive. When we feel safe, our schools can be woven more deeply into the community. When we feel safe we are more open to accept people who look, worship or act differently than us.

Public safety is our most basic community service and the irony is that the better we deliver the service the less people think about it. The children who walk safely to school, the neighbors who walk to the corner store, the commuter who walks home from the bus or train late at night, the senior citizen sitting safely on their front porch at sunset rarely think that they can only enjoy this kind of life because of the protection provided by their local police officers. In our daily life, we usually think about our police when something has gone wrong… When an officer dies or when he or she makes a mistake.

So it takes a special person to be a police officer—a person who can protect and serve, with strength and compassion, often without that recognition—willingly ready to put themselves in harm’s way so others can go about their daily lives.”

— Former Nassau County (NY) Police Commissioner, Lawrence Mulvey
