Police chief reports fatal crash, first AED deployment; highlights department holiday outreach
Summary
Police Chief Dave Rash reported a fatal automobile crash in which a young driver did not survive and that it was the department's first deployment of its new AED; he also described department participation in holiday events and a suggestion to hold a parade in Rogue River next year.
Police Chief Dave Rash told the City Council on Dec. 18 that the city experienced a fatal automobile crash in which a young driver did not survive and that the department's new automated external defibrillator (AED) was deployed for the first time.
Chief Rash said, "We unfortunately had an auto accident, and the young driver did not survive, and was the first deployment of our new AED." He also reported that the department participated in local Christmas activities including a parade and "shopping with cop," and suggested that Rogue River consider holding its own parade next year.
The minutes do not offer additional factual detail about the crash (location, time, or investigating agency) or the AED deployment beyond the chief's summary; no formal council action was recorded in connection with the incident report.
