Abreu asks what qualifies as a serious injury for CIS. Flynn says CIS handles fatalities, likely fatalities, and critical injuries, with determinations generally made by EMS or a hospital.

Shaun Abreu

And what would you say qualifies as a serious injury?

Mike Flynn

So the cases that are going to CIS and Chief Owe can speak on more, but this is a case where there is a fatality, where there's a likely fatality, or there's a critical injury.

Mike Flynn

And those are determinations that are made generally by EMS or by a hospital.
