Flagstaff police are training to keep hearts beating in city

Life Saving Technology

There’s a call for service from 2022 that stands out to Officer Zachary Knoepfel of the Flagstaff police. It’s one he’s unlikely to forget. That year, he helped save a life.

“I observed a male who was on their back and just actively not breathing at all,� Knoepfel recounted. "I see a family member who has been performing CPR. I take over and perform one round of chest compressions until medics can make their way up the driveway and get the necessary medical equipment to continue life-saving measures."
