POLSON – The Helmsley Charitable Trust Awarded $5.9 million to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services to ensure that every law enforcement patrol vehicle in Montana has an automated external defibrillator or AED.
The Polson Police Department and other agencies in the state have graciously been welcomed into this program. “We would like to thank The Leona and Harry Helmsley Charitable Trust for donating 16 AEDs to the Polson police officers,” the Polson Police Department states. “We would also like to thank Janet Trethewey for helping us to implement a cardiac ready program into our department.”

“The safety of our community and guests have always been our number one priority,” the department states. “This is a fantastic opportunity for your officers to provide another layer of crucial lifesaving care should the need arise.”
