FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Franklin Police Department (FPD) was able to recently buy 12 Automated External Defibrillators (AED) because of the generosity of several local groups and individuals.
Officers utilize these life-saving devices when responding to emergency situations.
REMC, Victory Church, Giving Hearts a Hand, and an anonymous partner contributed to the purchase.
FPD Chief Kirby Cochran Sr. said it is the goal of the department to place an AED in all 53 of its police vehicles by the end of next year.
