People around the casualty would want police to take responsibility and save a life, policeman as a part of his responsibility manage to arrange appropriate help by calling an ambulance, clearing crowd and doing an inspection of the spot, But very few police can provide first aid at the spot. Sometimes lack of knowledge could delay the decision and could cause more damages to casualty. As the majority of the emergency police handle is critical, knowledge on basic first aid could make a difference between life and death. This is why a first aid training for police is required and VMEDO joined hands with southeast Bengaluru police to make it happen.<\/p>\n

    Now with this basic knowledge, first aid trained police can take a calculated decision during an emergency and handle casualty with better care. Although few policemen present have taken first aid training program on their self-interest, many were unaware of the majority of the training. All the police were extremely excited about the outcome of the program and they were happy to share their real-life incidents and how First aid knowledge would have helped them make a better decision.<\/p>\n

    VMEDO<\/span><\/a> believes that with this program, we could save many lives indirectly through the first aid trained policeman. We would want to conduct these training programs to all the police people and make them emergency prepared. Not only for the police department we see a great need for this program for other public servants like bus drivers, army people, railway employees, traffic police.<\/p>\n
