BILL NUMBER:S7886 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law and the execu- tive law, in relation to requiring police officers to be retrained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation every two years PURPOSE: To require all police officers to be routinely trained in the administration 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.
