I’ve already commented enough on this thread but one last one....the nation has a severe EMT shortage and thus longer than average response times. Some horrific cases of police having to transport as a result of said shortages/responses. So whether it’s CPR or AED, they both work in concert with each other. The unpaid volunteer groups that supplement and support EMS/Fire.....properly trained in both CPR/AED, are a welcome addition and resource to an issue that, as stated, is in need of an assist at times
