With partners the Vancouver Police Department, Vancouver Community Policing Centre’s are launching the ICE campaign to encourage all residents to program an emergency contact into their cell phone or carry an ICE card in their wallet or backpack.
The BC Ambulance Paramedics and Vancouver Fire and Rescue both support this CPC initiative. All first responders will be able to spot the ICE logo and quickly reach an appropriate contact that will be able to provide critical medical information for the victim.
Add ICE to your cell phone now! Come into the GWCPC to pick up free ICE cards for you, your children and elderly relatives. This small act may pay big safety dividends in the future…In Case of Emergency.
