During the first nine months of 2026, the San Juan Police in Argentina reported intervening in 29 medical emergencies. These life-saving actions, which included cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and assistance with choking, intoxications, and childbirth, occurred in instances where officers arrived before medical teams.

The majority of these interventions involved infants under two years old, with 25 cases recorded in that age group. The most frequent emergencies were choking and respiratory difficulties. The police force attributed their ability to respond successfully to continuous training in first aid and life-saving maneuvers.
