🚨 SHOCKING DECISION: Defibrillators Removed from NSW Police Vehicles 🚨

In an unbelievable move, NSW Police have made the decision to remove defibrillators from frontline police vehicles. These lifesaving devices have helped officers save countless lives — often arriving at emergencies before ambulances.

Removing defibs puts lives at risk, especially in rural and regional areas where every second counts. Cardiac arrest doesn’t wait. It doesn’t care about policies or budgets. It demands an immediate response — and defibs are one of the only tools proven to increase survival.

This decision is not just disappointing — it’s dangerous.

💬 If you believe every officer should be equipped to save a life, speak up. Contact your local MP. Raise your voice. Lives depend on it.
