The most popular police officer in Oklahoma isn’t the most talkative. In fact, he’s the least. The kids love him, and the small town of Ada keeps their eyes on him.

Officer Plastic Popo, is actually a CPR mannequin. He sits in a car, parked near areas where drivers routinely speed, and his presence keeps people in-line.

This CPR mannequin even has his own Facebook page, Plastic Popo, where the townsfolk give updates on his whereabouts.

If you would like a photo with Officer Popo, check his Facebook.

In a clever way to keep interest in CPR and to show how simple performing CPR really is, twelve ambulance medics participating in a simple flash mob.

Using a variety of dummy victims from stuffed animals to training mannequins, the medics went through a quick emergency process; pretending to call 911, shouting for help, and administering chest compressions.

They even threw in a few breathes.

They performed to the Bee Gee’s Satyin’ Alive, making the event fairly lively.

Onlookers had a chance to experience the simplicity of CPR by the fearless medics.

Adorable Koala Gets CPR

One very lucky koala bear is alive today because of CPR.

Sean the Koala, named after one of the firefighters who rescued him, had apparently been hit by a car at some point within the preceding 24 hours and was having a hard time moving.

Sean the Koala had been put in a tree by a passerby, and climbed even higher when the firemen arrived. As they pulled him from the tree, his heart stopped.

An animal care provider immediately started CPR on the young koala, with the help of firefighter Sean, and Sean the Koala is doing well.
