Officer Gregory Lanoue Named 
October Employee of the Month

 

In the spring of 2006, Officer Gregory Lanoue became aware of the availability of grant funds from the Metrowest Community Health Care Foundation (MCHCF). Recognizing the need for more extensive placement of these life-saving devices, Officer Lanoue submitted an application on the department’s behalf for additional Automatic Electronic Defibrillators (AED's), a sufficient supply to provide one unit for every police cruiser and others for additional coverage at the Natick Fire Department. Application approval and grant funding soon followed. Vendors were asked to make presentations of their particular products and Officer Lanoue and a team from the fire department selected the product that would serve our public safety departments best. Most of the above mentioned evaluations took place during September and October, 2006.

As the department’s primary CPR and First Responder trainer, Officer Lanoue continues to monitor a phased implementation schedule of the AED's until all officers have been appropriately retrained in CPR and use of these devices.

Officer Lanoue’s continuing effort in support of our first responder and CPR training has enabled us to provide the best emergency response capability possible with the resources we have at hand. His actions reflect credit on himself and the Natick Police Department.

Officer Lanoue is hereby commended and named the Employee of the Month for the Month of October, 2006.
