🚨 Anthony Kidd’s American Heart Association Loophole: Is Hale CPR His Next Front? 🚨

🚨 Anthony Kidd’s American Heart Association Loophole: Is Hale CPR His Next Front? 🚨

Anthony Kidd should be completely shut out of the CPR training industry.

🚨 BANNED TWICE by the American Red Cross (Nov. 2023 & Nov. 2024).
🚨 STRIPPED of his Training Center & Instructor Trainer status by HSI (Sept. 2024).
🚨 EXPOSED for running fraudulent CPR training businesses.

After being banned twice by the American Red Cross and permanently stripped of his Instructor Trainer and Training Center status by HSI, one would assume Anthony Kidd's CPR empire had finally collapsed.

But like any practiced fraudster, Kidd found another door to crawl through.

While the industry was reeling from his exposed misconduct, Kidd quietly resurfaced—this time, not through CPR Safety 411 or PA CPR Safety—but through a new affiliation with the American Heart Association (AHA).

And the path? Hale CPR.

💥 How? Because Hale CPR, an AHA Training Site, issued him an AHA BLS instructor certification! 💥

This isn’t just a loophole—this is a complete breakdown of the AHA’s instructor approval process.

🧠 The Pattern Repeats

Let’s rewind:

• Nov. 2023 — The American Red Cross bans Kidd and CPR Safety 411

• Dec. 2023 — Anthony Kidd receives an AHA Instructor certification through Hale CPR

• Sept. 2024 — HSI revokes Kidd’s Instructor Trainer and Training Center status

• Nov. 2024 — The American Red Cross bans Kidd’s fake front, PA CPR Safety

Despite multiple bans and clear findings of fraud, Kidd was able to secure a new foothold in the industry—this time under AHA branding.

🟨 Hale CPR Responds: “We Were Not Aware”

CPR Watcher reached out to Hale CPR, the AHA Training Site responsible for issuing Kidd’s instructor credentials.

To their credit, they responded quickly and professionally. Here’s what they confirmed:

• Anthony Kidd completed an in-person AHA instructor course at Hale CPR’s location.

• He was issued both BLS Provider and BLS Instructor certifications directly by Hale CPR.

• At the time, they had no knowledge of his bans from the American Red Cross or HSI.

• Kidd remains active under their training site.

• Hale CPR has now reached out to Kidd for clarification and is reviewing the matter internally.

In other words: Hale CPR was not complicit, but they were left in the dark—a dangerous position created by systemic failures in how national CPR organizations share compliance and disciplinary records.

⚠️ The Real Problem: No Cross-Agency Oversight

If an instructor is banned by the American Red Cross…
If their Training Center is revoked by HSI…
Shouldn’t that trigger a red flag when they apply to an AHA Training Site?

Apparently not.

Despite multiple national bans and public fraud findings, there is no system in place to share that information across organizations.

That means:

• ARC doesn’t notify AHA

• HSI doesn’t notify AHA

• AHA Training Sites have no database of banned instructors

• Providers like Hale CPR are operating in the dark, trusting applicants to be honest

Anthony Kidd exploited that silence.

🔥 Why This Loophole Matters

Let’s be clear: Hale CPR is not the problem.
The loophole is.

Kidd has already:

• Issued certifications under the names of others

• Controlled CPR Safety 411’s digital infrastructure—including email domains linked to instructor portals

• Bypassed bans by creating shell companies and fake fronts

• Been named in multiple whistleblower reports for handing out instructor certifications without any actual training

Now, with AHA credentials in hand, Kidd has returned to the marketplace with new authority, despite being deemed unfit by other national organizations.

And this time, it wasn’t through deception at Hale CPR.
It was through an industry-wide failure to communicate.

🚨 What Needs to Happen Now

This is bigger than one instructor or one training site.

We’re calling for:

✅ Immediate review of Anthony Kidd’s current AHA instructor status
✅ Suspension of that status until a full compliance audit is conducted
✅ AHA policy reforms to require checks against banned lists from ARC and HSI
✅ The creation of a national CPR training compliance database to track and flag instructors with histories of fraud or misconduct

Because without these changes, the next Anthony Kidd is already filling out their AHA application.

💬 Final Thoughts

Hale CPR did the right thing by responding transparently. They followed protocol.

The problem is—the protocol failed them. And in turn, it failed the public.

Kidd should have been shut down. Instead, he’s back in uniform.

Until national organizations work together to close these loopholes, fraud will continue to wear a CPR badge it never earned.

We’re not done watching. And we won’t stop reporting.

🚨 The CPR industry cannot afford to let a known fraudster continue issuing invalid certifications. 🚨
