Bulletin notes.

Law enforcement officers are challenged daily in the performance of their duties; they face each challenge freely and unselfishly while answering the call to duty. In certain instances, their actions warrant special attention from their respective departments. The Bulletin also wants to recognize those situations that transcend the normal rigors of the law enforcement profession.

At the beach while on vacation with his family, Lieutenant Robert Week of the Summit, New Jersey, Police Department observed a father and son being swept away from the shore by a riptide and in danger of losing their lives. Despite the considerable risk he faced, Lieutenant Week entered the water to rescue them. He removed the young man from the ocean and assisted the father until other rescuers arrived.

Sergeant Matt Brown, Officer Joshua Rainwater, and DUI Task Force Officer Robert Adair of the Cobb County, Georgia, Police Department responded to a single-vehicle rollover crash. Upon their arrival, the officers discovered a pickup truck on fire just inside a tunnel. Disregarding their own safety, they immediately began struggling to remove the male driver. Despite flames, smoke, and burns on their hands, the officers eventually freed the man from the wreckage and took him to safety. The victim was transported to a local hospital, and the officers received treatment for smoke inhalation and burns.
