Project Heart ReStart Donates 11 AEDs to Police

Post Date:07/30/2026

Project Heart ReStart recently donated 11 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to the West Chester Police Department. The organization has now given more than 630 AEDs throughout Butler County, Hamilton County, northern Kentucky and south-eastern Indiana. 

By equipping our police officers with AEDs, we are expanding the availability of early defibrillation throughout our community and strengthening the chain of survival. In cases of sudden cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation significantly decreases a person's chance of survival.  

We are grateful for their generosity and support in helping us place these lifesaving devices into service. Our West Chester Police Department and Fire Department collaborate to provide the highest level of emergency care and improve outcomes for those experiencing cardiac emergencies.

Funding for Project Heart ReStart comes from independent donors, local hospitals, businesses, and Rotary Clubs. They've collected over $1.2 million so far!
