Officer
Irwin
If you don't follow or "like" the Dunwoody Police Department on Facebook, please do so as I consider it an important news source for the entire community with regular updates. The link is below as is a sampling of the soon to be 700 "likes" and numerous comments. I couldn't be prouder of Officer Christopher Irwin and the professionalism shown by the Department every single day. Thank you.
Officer
Irwin had just gone off-duty and was headed home when a medical
emergency call was dispatched on Crown Point Parkway. The officer
turned his patrol car around and responded to the scene with lights
& siren. Upon the officer’s arrival he saw that the subject was in
cardiac arrest. Officer Irwin immediately deployed his AED (automated
external defibrillator) and continued CPR with the help
from a civilian. The AED deployed three defibrillations “shocks” to
the subjects. DeKalb Fire Rescue arrived on scene and resumed CPR. The
subject’s heart beat and breathing was restored and he was transported
to St. Joseph’s. Officer Irwin remembered his training and helped in
saving a life yesterday. Good Job Officer Irwin.

- Great great job Officer Irwin! Thank you for being Dunwoody PD! To the "mob" complaining about other things going on in our City, isn't this enough reason to be proud of our City? And thanks again to Bob Lundsten for making sure our officers have those AEDs. I know how happy they are to have them, and to not be put in situations where they feel helpless to act.

Great job, Officer Irwin. I'm sure this person and his or her family will be forever grateful to you.
This emphasizes the need for AED's in public places. There was not one available for my husband. There was a small movement a couple of years ago to have one at the nature center; I contributed to it. I notice the MJCCA has them. I'd like to see them in every store, gas station, park, and restaurant in our city.
Thank goodness for Officer Irwin's dedication to his job; kudos especially since he was off duty (actually, our first responders are never really off duty which is why we should be so grateful for their service).
