First aid knowledge helps to develop an awareness of potential accident situations and the emergency care needed to aid victims of accidents or sudden illnesses. This knowledge and skill often means the difference between life and death, temporary and permanent disability, and between a rapid recovery or a long hospitalization. Students successfully completing the course will be eligible for the appropriate American Red Cross course certification cards or the National Safety Council certification cards. This course is only for the current Police, Correction and JDO recruits.
