Lucas Oil Products announced Friday its partnership with the Central Indiana Police Foundation (CIPF). CIPF serves police officers in the Greater Indianapolis area, including surrounding counties and incorporated towns, is community-led and aims to meet the growing needs of local police.
For its role in the partnership, Lucas Oil will actively participate in ongoing community events and fundraisers supporting CIPF and fostering new opportunities to bring officers, families, and adults in the community together in a meaningful way.
To kick off the partnership, Lucas Oil and its employees will donate and assemble critically needed trauma kits used by police to help save lives during emergency situations. With any injury call, police officers are often the first to arrive. A trauma kit gives responders several tools to quickly treat individuals in distress. Each kit includes a tourniquet, trauma bandage, trauma shears used to cut through a vest, seatbelt, or piece of leather, and a plastic OP airway used to maintain or open an airway. Trauma kits assembled for CIPF will be donated to police departments and other public service agencies that need them.
“Public safety is vital to the health of our community, and the support of exceptional partners like Lucas Oil allows us to provide additional resources and programs to meet the needs of officers who protect and serve,” CIPF Executive Director Lisa Rollings said.
The CIPF supports traumatically injured officers and their families, provides supplemental resources for officers in the line of duty, and works to build positive officer-community partnerships across central Indiana. For more information about the CIPF and its efforts, please visit cipf.foundation.
