The Carthage Police Department would like to thank the Carthage Service League for their generous donation of LifeVac medical devices for our Patrol Units.

These devices provide officers with another important lifesaving tool that can be used during choking emergencies while serving our community. We greatly appreciate the continued support of organizations like the Carthage Service League and their commitment to helping keep our citizens safe.
