Prince Frederick, MD— On September 13, 2015, the Maryland State Police (MSP) – Prince Frederick Barrack became the first barrack in the state to receive Automated External Defibrillators (AED) Units.
Master Trooper (M/Tpr.) Michael Gill, #1351, who served previously with the MSP Aviation Division as a Trooper Paramedic, spearheaded the program and worked in alliance with the Calvert County Department of Public Safety to obtain six AEDs for the Prince Frederick Barrack.
M/Tpr. Gill has trained all the troopers at the Prince Frederick Barrack on the proper operation of this life saving equipment and has coordinated the program with the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMS).
One AED unit will remain in the barrack, and is listed at the 911 Center thereby making it available for immediate use for incidents within the Town Center area. The other units are available for troopers to take on patrol.
Since obtaining the AED units they have been deployed five (5) times in lifesaving
incidents.The Prince Frederick is grateful for the donation of these units and wishes to thank the Calvert County Commissioners and the Calvert County Department of Public Safety for their substantial donation.
