Tech in Gainesville, is led by Heartsaver Instructor Dan Roberts.
The course is comprised of two components, classroom
instruction and an instructor practicum, both of which must be
successfully completed to obtain full certification.
The training is part of the overall DDS Emergency Response
Plan and is being spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner Ricky
Rich.
Having our very own certified First Aid/CPR/AED instructors in-
house will give DDS much more flexibility in training other
team members, while saving the agency money in training
costs.

introductory remarks; welcomes and
thanks prospective DDS trainers.
