Life Saving Incident

Michigan
Chippewa County

In July 2019, Deputy Lindy Waite responded to a medical emergency. Upon arrival a man was found on the floor and turning blue. Deputy Waite attached the AED which advised No Shock. Deputy Waite then started CPR. Her efforts paid off as the man was brought back and was conscious by the time the ambulance arrived on scene. Deputy Waite was presented with a Life Savings plaque and a Life Saving pin to wear on her uniform. On behalf of the victim and his family, and all the citizens of Chippewa County, I thank you for your quick actions. There is no doubt this man would not have survived without you. Thank you and God Bless. Michael D. Bitnar
Chippewa Co Sheriff
The history of law enforcement in the United States is a long and wonderful history of bravery. This website is dedicated to documenting the heroic deeds of law enforcement officers throughout the United States who have either given or risked their lives to save others. There are many stories of bravery and heroism for many who are considered first responders. However, it is those in law enforcement who are most likely to be the first to arrive upon a location requiring life saving acts engaging dangerous hostage takers, running into burning buildings/vehicles, providing first aid to seriously injured victims, saving near drowning victims and much more are what the women and men of law enforcement do routinely and at many times, great peril to their own safety.
It is our mission to document the history of lives saved by those dedicated women and men in law enforcement. To share with others the dramatic deeds of those individuals who are the first, first responders. It is so important for our citizens to understand that law "enforcement" is not always about enforcing the law but rather being there when our citizens need us.
It is to this end we are dedicated to promoting documentation regarding the history of law enforcement and the lives they have saved.
