Dunwoody Police Department

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.

•   If the officer did not have an assigned, issued take home vehicle, then the officer would have been prohibited to stop and would not have rendered aid.. That's the beauty of having every officer assigned to their very own car.. Good job officer, good job Dunwoody Police...
