Picture above are the officers and employees who were recognized by President Loh and presented with certificates for their quick actions of administering CPR and the use of an AED that saved the life of a fellow co-worker. Thank you all for what you did that day.
On December 23, 2015, officers of the University of Maryland Police Department responded to the Plant Operations and Maintenance Shops for an individual who was having a medical emergency. Officers arrived on scene and found co-workers preforming chest compressions on the individual. Officers took over compressions and with the assistance of the AED (Automated External Defibrillator); a shock was administered along with another round of chest compressions. The male’s vitals were reassessed where the male began breathing and exhibited a pulse. Paramedics arrived on scene and transported the male to a local area hospital where he is recovering. Thanks to the quick life-saving actions administered by UMD staff and officers, a life was saved today.
