Sheriff’s Office Receives Automated External Defibrillator
                On January 29, 2024, the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office received six Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) from a Mark Twain Health Care District Grant.  The AEDs will be assigned to deputies during each shift to be carried during patrol duties.  Having additional AEDs in the community will be beneficial in reducing the response time and increasing the chances of survival for people who are experiencing a cardiac incident outside of a medical facility. 
                We would like to thank the Mark Twain Health Care District for its commitment to enhancing the medical services provided in Calaveras County. 
                The Mark Twain Health Care District is a California special district that, through community collaboration, serves as the steward of a community health system that ensures residents have the dignity of access to care that is high quality, professional, and compassionate.
