The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office recently received a cash donation from the Citrus County Civic Association to assist with the purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) for placement in a deputy’s patrol car. Sergeant Phil Royal (left), who heads up the agency’s Training Unit, presented the AED to its assigned officer, Deputy Abner Cruz. With the help of private donations like this one, the Sheriff’s Office is one step closer to its goal of having a lifesaving AED device in each one of its marked units. The civic group made the donation in memory of Earl C. Samstag, a charter member and past president of the Citrus County Civic Association. For anyone interested in helping the Sheriff’s Office reach its goal of an AED in every patrol car, call Sgt. Royal at (352) 344-3568.
