To the Editor:
On July 24, at approximately 16:45, the Surf City Emergency Medical Services was dispatched to a local restaurant for a CPR in progress. Upon our arrival, we were informed that two bystanders had started CPR on a pulseless and breathless man.
Police officers Sgt. Roe and Patrolman Kyle Costabile arrived moments after CPR was initiated. Sgt. Roe applied an automated external defibrillator (AED) and took over compressions and was aided by EMS members Joseph Fortunato and Brian Stasik.
