Henry Sheriff’s Office gets life-saving equipment

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has acquired 120 Automatic Electronic Defibrillators for its deputies’ vehicles. The AEDs were purchased with proceeds from federally-seized drug funds. No tax money was used. An AED is a medical device that analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if needed, delivers an electrical shock known as defibrillation. Sheriff’s deputies are in contact with hundreds of people each day, which places them at a greater likelihood of encountering a heart attack victim.
