CCJC trains criminology students, faculty in basic life support

Strengthening emergency preparedness and life-saving competencies, the College of Criminal Justice and Criminology of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation conducted a three-day Basic Life Support Training for selected fourth-year criminology students and faculty members from Aug. 26-28 at the CCJC Department in the Lucena City campus.

Personnel from the Lucena City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office facilitated the training, which equipped participants with the knowledge, confidence and readiness to provide immediate assistance during emergencies.

During the first session, participants learned basic first aid procedures, proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation, wound and burn bandaging, and safe techniques for handling and transporting injured patients. The discussions emphasized correct emergency response procedures to help prevent injuries from worsening while awaiting further medical assistance.

On Aug. 27, the participants performed return demonstrations of the skills introduced during the previous session. They practiced proper bandaging techniques for wounds and burns, patient handling and carrying, and other first aid procedures under the guidance of the trainers.

The final session on Aug. 28 further engaged the students and faculty members in applying their emergency response skills in situations involving individuals who may require immediate care. The hands-on activities strengthened their ability to respond safely, confidently and appropriately during emergencies.

Through the training, CCJC strengthened the emergency response capabilities of its students and faculty while promoting a safer, more prepared and responsive University community.
