There are two editions of "The Life You Save...": one geared toward potential champions within the EMS community interested in promoting community defibrillation programs (the EMS edition), the other geared toward potential champions within the law enforcement community interested in promoting law enforcement and/or community defibrillation programs (the Law Enforcement edition).
