Item: Donation to Hastings Police Department
Council Action Requested:
Accept a grant from the Center for Resuscitation Medicine at the University of Minnesota to provide
new Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s) to all Hastings PD squad cars.
Background Information:
The Center for Resuscitation Medicine (CRM) at the University of Minnesota has received a grant to
provide every law enforcement vehicle in Minnesota with a new and updated AED device. The CRM will
troubleshoot concerns, provide an 8-year service contract that includes electrode replacement, and
work directly with the manufacturer, Stryker, for product support. The Hastings PD reached out to CRM
and requested 13 AED’s, which would allow a new AED in every marked squad. The MSRP per unit is
$2,500. CRM confirmed the grant request and has provided HPD with 13 new AED’s. Upon approval by
City Council, HPD Officers will be trained in their use and they will be put into service. The Hastings PD
will make every attempt to re-purpose the existing AED’s if possible.
