Mulberry Police Department Secures Grant to Equip Patrol Fleet with Life-Saving AEDs
Mulberry, Indiana – May 27, 2026 – The Mulberry Police Department is proud to
announce it has been awarded a generous grant in the amount of $15,185.87 from the
Clinton County Community Foundation. This critical funding was used to purchase and
deploy one new Motorola portable radio and three new Automated External
Defibrillators (AEDs) in the department’s patrol vehicles and police headquarters.
Because law enforcement officers are frequently the first to arrive at the scene of a
medical emergency, rapid access to an AED is crucial for patient survival. Sudden
cardiac arrest requires immediate medical intervention, and the use of an AED within
the first few minutes significantly increases the likelihood of a positive outcome before
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrive.
“The Clinton County Community Foundation is pleased to present this grant award to
help the Mulberry Police Department create a safer environment for our residents,” said
Emerald Blankenship, Senior Vice President of the Community Foundation. This grant
comes from our Clinton County Unrestricted Grant Pool, made up of gifts from
generous donors who trust us to address the evolving needs of our community.”
“The Mulberry Police Department is deeply grateful to the Clinton County Community
Foundation for their ongoing commitment to public safety,” said Town Marshal Jason
Albaugh. “Our officers are often the first on the scene, and having these life-saving tools
readily available in our patrol vehicles allows us to step in immediately during a cardiac
emergency. It is one more vital way we can protect and serve our community.”

Motorists are urged to use extreme caution this morning following severe storms that moved through the area over the past 12 hours.

Damaging winds and heavy rainfall have left behind hazardous driving conditions across much of the region, debris in roadways, downed trees, and power lines—some of which may still be live and extremely dangerous.

In addition, localized flooding has been reported, with water covering portions of roadways in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Remember—never attempt to drive through standing water. It only takes a small amount to stall your vehicle or sweep it off the road.

If you must travel, slow down, allow extra time, and increase your following distance. Be especially cautious on rural roads and in areas where visibility may be limited.

If you encounter downed power lines, treat them as energized and keep a safe distance. Report hazards to local authorities when it is safe to do so.

Stay alert, stay patient, and give road crews and emergency responders the space they need to safely clear these hazards.
