BILL NUMBER:S2820
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to requiring police officers to be retrained in cardiopulmonary resusci- tation every two years
Purpose
To require all police officers are trained in the adminis- tration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new section of law to the general munici- pal law; section 208-h.
Justification
In response to the tragic death of Briana Ojeda, it is imperative that all police officers are adequately trained in the admin- istration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This easy to learn procedure has been proven to save lives in emergency situations and could have helped save the life of Briana Ojeda. This bill will require every police officer in New York State to be retrained and tested in CPR. By requiring that all police officers are know how to administer CPR we can ensure that those in need will be saved in the future.
