Media Release | South Pasadena Police Department
The South Pasadena Police Department is proud to announce the
addition of LifeVac anti-choking devices in all its patrol cars, strengthening the
Department’s commitment to community health and safety. This initiative aims to reduce
response times and enhance emergency care for individuals suffering from choking
incidents.
LifeVac is a non-invasive airway clearance device designed to help dislodge common
blockages during choking emergencies when standard techniques may not be effective.
Its simple operation allows police officers, often first on the scene, to act quickly and
decisively while waiting for medical professionals to arrive.
“Adding LifeVac in our patrol units reinforces our mission to save lives through every possible means” stated Police Chief Brian Solinsky. “In choking cases, time is critical. Having LifeVac readily available, our officers can provide lifesaving measures faster than ever.”
