“By Direction of the Chief of Police, the Lifesaving Citation Award was presented to Officer Danielle Cook.
On Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023, Officer Danielle Cook, being assigned to Patrol duties, while working the second shift responded to a 911 call of an unresponsive male. Upon arrival, Officer Cook observed an adult male unresponsive. Officer Cook quickly determined the male was suffering from a drug overdose and would at times stop breathing. Officer Cook without hesitation administered two doses of Narcan with no immediate effect. Officer Cook with the assistance of her partner was able to position the male on the floor so that CPR could be started. Once on the floor, Officer Cook administered a third dose of Narcan, at which point the individual began gagging and rolled to his side. Paramedics then made the scene and were able to transport this individual to the Emergency Room for further treatment.
Officer Cook’s actions epitomize the best Police Officer qualities of motivation, commitment and selfless service. Her timely efforts in rendering medical aid to an overdose victim was very instrumental in saving this individual’s life.”
