HENRY COUNTY | RICKEY STOKES NEWS
HCSO Highlights Investigations Division and Emergency Response Training
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is recognizing the hard work and professionalism of its Investigations Division and deputies who respond to a wide range of calls each day.
Not all calls for service handled by the Sheriff’s Office are criminal in nature. Deputies frequently respond to motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies such as strokes, and critical situations in remote wooded areas, including one incident reported last month.
In emergency situations like these, time is critical. Deputies partnered with medical personnel from Survival Flight to participate in specialized training focused on locating and establishing safe helicopter landing zones.
Officials say Henry County’s rural landscape makes air medical transport an essential resource. Having a Survival Flight base located within the county allows patients to be quickly transported by air to the nearest medical facility when minutes can mean the difference between life and death.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office says it takes great pride in the work its deputies and staff perform and wants the public to know they remain committed to providing the highest level of service possible to the citizens they serve each and every day.
