Are police officers trained to perform and seek necessary medical action after use of force?

It is the policy of the La Grange Police Department that if an injury is alleged or results from a police officer’s use of force, it shall be the involved Officer’s responsibility to ensure that adequate medical care is made available to the injured party as soon as practicable.

The protocol for providing medical aid includes notification to a supervisor, summoning medical assistance, and documentation of injuries and a written report. All La Grange police officers are trained in first aid, CPR, and the medical administration of Narcan.
