So many of our members go above and beyond the call of duty, performing acts of heroism, ingenuity, kindness and generosity that demonstrate their professionalism and heart. They were willing to go that extra mile, and by so doing, made a difference in someone’s life. Here are some of the pictures and stories they want to share:


KEEPING THE COMMUNITY SAFE

SAVED A LIFE
Hospital Police Officer Tomlinson (l), Detective Campbell (not pictured) and Captain Sampson (r) responded to an emergency inside the Emergency Room at Woodhull Hospital. Upon arrival they realized a patient had taken his fist and punched through the glass door severing two arteries in his right arm. Officer Tomlinson and Captain Sampson put gowns on and began to hold the patient while the medical staff attempted to stop the extensive bleeding coming from the patient’s right arm.
