The Dunwoody Police Department has taken a proactive step in enhancing public safety by outfitting all of its patrol vehicles with LifeVac devices. LifeVac is a portable, non-invasive tool designed to help officers respond quickly and effectively to choking emergencies, potentially saving lives when traditional methods like the Heimlich maneuver may not work.
This initiative underscores the department’s commitment to community well-being by equipping officers with critical tools that can be deployed in life-threatening situations. By providing every patrol vehicle with LifeVac, Dunwoody officers are better prepared to assist residents during emergencies involving airway obstructions.
