CEPD offers Pet First Aid/CPR!

The Cape Elizabeth Police Department now offers Pet First Aid/CPR!  Upon Sergeant Kevin Kennedy’s certification in Pet First Aid/CPR, Invisible Fence donated three pet oxygen masks to the CEPD to be kept in the police cruisers.

The Cape Elizabeth Police Department is now one of only a few police departments in the state of Maine that carry pet oxygen masks in their police cars.  The masks come in three sizes – small, medium, large – and are designated by the animal's weight.  In addition, each mask is marked with the recommended oxygen flow in liters based on the animal's weight.

The masks will be utilized in the event of a fire, heat exposure, or traumatic injury emergency.  CEPD officers, who are all Emergency Medical Technicians, received training in utilizing the masks as well.
