TROUP COUNTY, Ga. — The Troup County Sheriff’s Office announced that a newly received donation will allow it to buy new automated external defibrillators for deputies in the field.
According to TCSO, the grant award came from Heart of West Georgia.
“Often times our deputies are the first on scene and they have used AED’s and other life saving tools prior to Fire and EMS arrival. We are certainly grateful for the partnership with Heart of West Georgia and the work they do in our community,” TCSO said in a statement, thanking Heart of West Georgia.
