1: Good samaratian laws: Vary from location to location... I'm not that familure with laws save in one state and ... Well. even there it can get confusing so I can say no more because I'm not expert in that area.

I will 2nd that. I've had the Red Cross course, Michigan State POlice course (multiple times) and an independent course once or twice since retiring.
(I was a dispatcher by the way not a trooper).
I've only participated in CPR twice. once successful (the time I did the 9-1-1 bit) and once.. Well the victim was already dead beyond recovery.
I"ve had troopers bring people back, ANd I told the story of Sue and the Baby turning Blue. (I like the dispatcher who took that call will always defer to Sue or the other EMT on my shift if I can..I mean they outrank me CPR wise).
It is not that hard to do folks. and the benefits are... Fantastic.
