NYPD heart-start effort
By LORENA MONGELLI
The NYPD will now make sure that there are at least several defibrillators in every one of its station houses, transit bureaus, and the housing projects it polices, officials said.
The devices, which are also employed by the Fire Department and EMS, are used to jump-start the hearts of patients in cardiac arrest.
New York's Finest have saved 54 people since they started using defibrillators in 1997, authorities said.
