As dedicated first responders, the officers of the Belle-Baie Police Force are frequently the very first to arrive at the scene of a medical crisis. To ensure immediate, life-saving care during those critical initial minutes, every officer is rigorously trained and certified in first aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and the deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). This specialized qualification allows patrol units to quickly assess trauma, stabilize patients, and maintain vital cardiac functions before paramedics arrive. Through ongoing recertification and scenario-based training, Belle-Baie police officers maintain the highest level of readiness to handle medical emergencies, protecting and preserving the lives of community members when every second counts.
