CERT DRILL Operation “Where’s Johnny”









On the morning of Saturday July 23, 2011 our team conducted a drill utilizing training learned in various disciplines to include search and rescue, incident command, radio communications, first aid and working in concert with the Sheriffs Office. The scenario was to locate and treat a lost 7-year-old diabetic child and perform any aid that may be required. The team located, and documented various articles that might be considered evidence and in short order found the child, and treated him for a knee injury and the early stages of diabetic shock. Once found the CCSO Incident Commander was notified, and the child was transported to a hospital for a complete medical evaluation and care.
A debriefing and critique followed the exercise. The team performed extremely well. Our team trains constantly to better serve our community.
