The 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.

Deputies Devant Ramage and David Warner of the Graves County, Kentucky, Sheriffs Department received a call of an unconscious man in a rural part of Graves County whose breathing had ceased. Due to the large size of the county, the deputies were dispatched because they could respond more quickly than an emergency medical services (EMS) team. Upon arrival, the deputies found an elderly man on the floor of his home. The man was unconscious, not breathing, and lacked a pulse. Deputies Ramage and Warner immediately began CPR. They were able to resuscitate the man prior to the arrival of EMS personnel, who stated that the man probably would not have survived had it not been for the quick response and judgment of the deputies.

Responding to a call about a drowned individual, Sergeant Chris Tatum and Officer Debbie Carter of the Waycross, Georgia, Police Department found a small child at the bottom of a pool. Officer Carter entered the pool and retrieved the child. Sergeant Tatum also noticed a male adult at the bottom of the pool and immediately dove in to retrieve the individual who happened to be the child's father. With the assistance of an emergency medical technician, the father was removed from the pool and CPR was started on both individuals. The child was revived and recovered completely. Unfortunately, the child's father could not be revived. The skill and prompt action of Sergeant Tatum and Officer Carter saved the life of the young child and brought a blessing out of a terrible tragedy.
