Edwardsville Police Receives Grant for Crisis Care Kits

EDWARDSVILLE – The Edwardsville Police Department will be able to equip its officers with special crisis care response kits, thanks to a $13,875 grant awarded by the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation®.

The crisis care response kits contain items used to administer aid in the event of a critical emergency until medical personnel can arrive. They will be placed in all active police fleet vehicles for quick access to improve the department’s lifesaving capabilities. “We are grateful to the Foundation and our Firehouse Subs® in Edwardsville for providing us with this invaluable funding,” said Edwardsville Police Chief Michael Fillback.

“In an emergency, every second counts, and these kits will enhance our capabilities to quickly come to the aid of an injured person.” For more than 20 years, charitable donations have powered the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation’s mission to support first responders and public safety organizations nationwide.

Since 2005, the Foundation has awarded more than 7,100 grants totaling over $105 million to public safety organizations.
