“The Long Beach Police department has purchased the Med sled for boat patrol, and landside patrol functions. Both the MS30 Tactical Rescue and the MS36VLR, store nicely on the boats and vehicles. When needed, they deploy quickly and easily. We have found they require minimum training and maintenance. The design and function of the system gives the officers confidence in the product. It can be easily deployed in an emergency situation even if they have not used it in awhile. For the boats, the flotation system works well and has taken the place of the traditional metal stokes litter. The Stokes Litter always posed a storage problem on the boat. The Med Sled® gives us the ability we were looking for to pull victims out of the water and slide them up a rocky river bank or high dock. The MS36VLR Med sled gives us the ability to maneuver victims down the steep narrow stairwells which are associated with the cargo ship that comes into our port.”
“We are very satisfied with the product and would recommend this to other law enforcement agencies that may have similar working conditions.”
