Thanks to a donation from Northside Hospital, the Kenneth City Police Department will now be even more prepared when responding to emergencies.
The hospital donated brand new first aid kits to the department. The previous supplies the department had become out of date.

- The small force inside of Pinellas County includes seven cruisers
The effort was spearheaded by the police department’s volunteer coordinator Tony Faucette. He's a former fire chief who recently had a heart attack and was treated at Northside Hospital.
According to Faucette, police officers are often the first to arrive at the scene of emergencies and says it's crucial that each squad car is equipped with the tools to treat injuries immediately.
"We're able to help our citizens better if we're equipped" said Faucette.
The first aid kits will go in all seven of the police cruisers.
