REGARDING ITEM 6 AGENDA
To: Joe Price; City Manager
From: Dale Davis, Chief of Police
Date: 10/21/2019
Re: Presentation of a Life Saving Award to Two Police Officers by
Chief Dale Davis.
On August 6, 2019, Sgt. Carlos Hernandez and Officer Nicolas Trejo were dispatched to
a medical call at 47 Northridge Drive. Upon entry into the residence, the officers located
a man unconscious laying on the living room floor. The patient had suffered cardiac
arrest. Sgt. Hernandez had taken an AED with him and both officers immediately took life
saving measures. The AED was attached to the victim’s chest and CPR began with both
officers following the CPR and AED protocols. A shock to the patient was
administered. The life saving measures taken by the officers resulted in a successful
resuscitation of the patient. The patient was taken to the hospital where he spent several
weeks. I am pleased to report that the man survived, thanks to the quick arrival and life
saving measures administered by our first responders.
The Canyon Police Department, Canyon Fire Department, and EMS worked jointly
together to save a life. What transpires at the onset of any event can play a significant
role in a successful outcome. The actions taken on August 6, 2019 justifies the
presentation of the Canyon Police Department lifesaving bar. These officers were
nominated by Lt. Matthew Coggins, and Capt. John Woodard, who at the time was
employed by the Canyon Fire Department.
Life Saving Recognition goes to:
Sgt. Carlos Hernandez
13-year veteran
Currently the Midnight shift supervisor
Officer Nicholas Trejo
2 ½ year veteran
Hired from Dumas P.D.
Been with Canyon PD since July 15, 2019
Assigned to the Evening Shift
The patient was Monte Winders. It is possible that Mr. Winders will attend the City
Commission meeting when the presentation takes place.
Respectfully,
Dale Davis
