The kits contain valuable first aid items to combat major wounds such as gunshots and major lacerations that may occur in active threat situations. Behrends was able to get a kit for each deputy on the Sheriff’s Office. Jaime Behrends and Southwest Iowa Home Health are also the ones who provided the AEDs last year that have played a vital role in service to the citizens. The AEDs alone have been used numerous times in life saving situations.

Sheriff Kevin Aistrope wants to thank Jaime and her amazing team for all their hard work in helping provide these services!!!!!
