Berkeley Township Police EMS Division receives grant for CPR gear
The Berkeley Township Police Department’s EMS Division is the recipient of a $14,567.82 grant courtesy of the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.

“The Township of Berkeley is thrilled to hear that the Berkeley Police Department-EMS Division has been awarded funds for an automatic chest compression system from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation,” Berkeley Township Mayor Carmen Amato said in a statement. “Bolstering our first responders’ life-saving capabilities, especially in times like these, is wonderful news for our community.”
