Uncompromised Excellence: City of Peachtree City, GA Modernizes Emergency Response with Avive's Connected AEDs--Life Already Saved

SAN FRANCISCO  , March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a bold move to strengthen emergency preparedness and public safety, the City of Peachtree City, Georgia has deployed over 50 Avive Connect AED®s across patrol vehicles, fire rescue units, and public spaces. This initiative comes on the heels of a life-saving event where one of the newly deployed AEDs revived a man experiencing Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

On April 24, 2024, Sergeant Keith Isaac of the Peachtree City Police Department responded to a 911 call about an unresponsive man along a golf cart path. Bystanders had begun CPR. Sergeant Isaac arrived within minutes, deployed his Avive Connect AED, and delivered a lifesaving shock. The patient survived.

This real-world save exemplifies why the city turned to Avive: to equip first responders with fast, reliable, and connected AED technology to act in the moments that matter most.

A Model for Connected Public Safety

City of Peachtree City's new AED program features a centralized network of Avive Connect AEDs. With Avive's REALConnect™ Platform, officials gain real-time visibility into the readiness, location, and status of every device.

Unlike traditional AEDs, the Avive Connect AED leverages its REALConnect Platform to enable remote monitoring and fleet management, transforming emergency cardiac care. With REALConnect, program managers can gain full visibility into their AED network through one centralized dashboard, remotely tracking device health, location, and readiness. This eliminates the need for manual checks or spreadsheets, ensuring that AEDs are always ready to save lives.

Before adopting Avive, the City of Peachtree City managed its AED program much like many other cities, with multiple device brands, AED program managers, and limited coordination. With the help of REALConnect, the city now enjoys complete visibility over their AED program, which spans public access locations, fire rescue units, and law enforcement vehicles, all accessible through a single dashboard. This centralized system allows public safety officials to stay informed, maintain compliance, and ensure their fleet is always prepared to save lives.

Equipping America's Fastest First Responders

In cardiac arrest emergencies, every second is critical, and law enforcement officers play a key, though often overlooked, role in the Chain of Survival. Unlike other first responders, patrol officers are often already out on the road and dispersed across the region, not responding from a centralized location. Recognizing this, the City of Peachtree City, GA, took proactive action by equipping its 15 patrol vehicles with Avive Connect AEDs.

During Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), every minute without compressions and defibrillation dramatically reduces a person's chance of survival. Law enforcement officers are uniquely positioned to make a difference, often being the first on the scene, already patrolling the area and able to bridge the critical gap between collapse and the arrival of EMS.

"Avive AEDs are the easiest AEDs to use when you are in an emergency situation and not able to think," adds Chief David Winkles, Division Chief of Compliance Fire Rescue.

A Commitment to Uncompromised Excellence

The City of Peachtree City is committed to the standard of Uncompromised Excellence in all aspects of its public service. City officials are dedicated to ensuring the highest level of care and safety for their citizens. Avive is honored to support this vision, providing a trusted and reliable public safety device that aligns with the city's commitment to protecting and serving its community.

"Before Avive, we had a fragmented hodgepodge AED program with limited oversight," said City of Peachtree City Manager Justin Strickland. "Now, we have a comprehensive, citywide system that aligns with our expectation of uncompromised excellence in public service. The results speak for themselves, we've already saved a life."

"We are deeply grateful to the officer who responded swiftly and activated his AED to deliver a lifesaving shock, and we sincerely appreciate the continued care provided by medical professionals to the patient," says CEO and Co-Founder Sameer Jafri. "It's an honor that Avive's connectivity and design features were chosen by the public safety leaders in this community, and we are privileged to support them in their ongoing efforts to keep their citizens safe. The life-saving event in the City of Peachtree City, GA, is a perfect example of why we've dedicated ourselves to creating a technologically advanced, reliable AED. We're proud to see the officer's quick actions, the ease with which he followed the device instructions, and the overall benefits Peachtree City is experiencing with seamless AED program management."
