Life Saving Award
On the afternoon of February 2, 2023, officers responded to a residence on McCormick Dr for a report of an unconscious juvenile. Upon arrival it was learned that the victim recently underwent a medical procedure and was perhaps having complications as a result. Officers Van Lew, Farnkopf and Pacella quickly assessed the victim and discovered she was not breathing and did not have a pulse. They immediately began to render lifesaving first aid and prepared her for transportation to the hospital. Once at the hospital the victim regained a pulse and began to breathe on her own. Officers Van Lew, Farnkopf and Pacella should be commended for their immediate action and using their training and experience to save a person’s life.
