This week, we recognize the vital role that CPR and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) play in saving lives. Sudden cardiac arrest affects thousands of people each year, and immediate action can mean the difference between life and death.

While medical emergencies are primarily handled by EMS, law enforcement officers are often among the first to arrive on scene. That's why McCall PD officers receive annual CPR training, and every patrol vehicle is equipped with an AED.

Over the years, our officers have performed CPR and deployed AEDs on numerous occasions, helping save lives in critical moments. Several have been recognized for their lifesaving efforts.
In 2024, Corporal Picard received a Life Saving Award for his quick actions and successful deployment of an AED during a medical emergency.

Learning CPR and understanding how to use an AED empowers everyday people to make a difference when seconds matter most. Early CPR and prompt AED use can significantly increase a person's chance of survival.

We encourage everyone to take the time to learn these lifesaving skills. Every second counts.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.

Mental health matters for everyone. Too often, men are taught to stay silent about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or burnout. But strength isn’t about carrying everything alone—it’s about knowing when to reach out, speak up, and seek support.

This month, let’s encourage honest conversations, check in on the men in our lives, and remind one another that asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.

You don’t have to go through it alone.
If you or someone you know needs immediate assistance, call 911.

The 988 helpline is available 24/7, you can call, text, or chat online. https://chat.988lifeline.org/

Reminder as we head into peak fawning season, to leave young wildlife alone.

If you see a fawn (or any young animal) alone in the brush, please leave them be.
Do not approach them, do not touch them.

When driving, keep an eye out for deer. If a Doe crosses the road, her fawn(s) may be close behind. Proceed with caution.

Dogs must be kept on a leash while in City limits. This helps prevent wildlife harassment.

If you have concerns regarding wildlife in McCall, please contact Idaho Fish and Game.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it’s a time to reflect on the courage, service, and selflessness of those who gave everything for our country. We remember their legacy, honor their families, and carry forward the values they fought to protect.

May we never forget the heroes who made our freedoms possible.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Idaho roads see a sharp increase in serious and fatal crashes as summer travel ramps up.
More drivers on the road, teen drivers out of school, distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving all contribute to the danger.

Simple choices can save lives:
-Buckle up
-Put the phone away
-Slow down
-Drive sober
-Be cautious in work zones
-Watch for motorcycles

Summer should be about road trips, camping, and making memories — not tragedies. Let’s do our part to keep Idaho roads safe for everyone this season.
