Summary
Some of the Sheriff's defibrillators could fail when needed most — the manufacturer flagged the defect. The county is leasing 52 new AEDs plus first aid kits for $219,820 over two years, with 28-day inspections. Leasing beat buying because each unit runs about $1,200 and batteries and pads keep costing money.
