James Anderson.

On routine patrol, Officer James Anderson, of the Danville, Indiana, Police Department responded to a car jacking in progress call. The vehicle's owner and her three children were still in the vehicle. Officer Anderson located the stolen vehicle and pursued it for over 20 miles. When the pursuit ended, the suspect fled, broke into a nearby home, and was later apprehended. It was later determined that the suspect committed two prior car jackings that same night. Officer Anderson's actions resulted in the capture of the suspect, the return of vehicle, and, most important, the safe rescue of the family.
