Life Saving Incident
January 5, 2012
California
San Diego County
Chula Vista
On January 5, 2012 officers were dispatched to the 600 block of San Pablo Court in Chula Vista to check the welfare of a female who was making suicidal comments. Officer Keith Kuttler spoke to the female's husband and learned the female has made prior suicide attempts. Based on this information, Officer Kuttler and the female's husband tried to find her via the GPS on her cell phone. They were able to ping the phone to a shopping center on Proctor Valley Road in Chula Vista. Officer David Conley was the first to arrive and found the female inside her vehicle, unconscious and unresponsive. Officer Conley broke out the right rear window of the vehicle. At that time Officer's Kuttler and Chris Bayless arrived and together the three removed the female from the vehicle. Officers Kuttler and Bayless began administering CPR and continued until the arrival of emergency medical personnel who then took over. The victim now had a pulse and was breathing. It was determined that the quick actions of the officers saved the woman's life. The female later called Officer Kuttler and told him she was doing well since the incident.
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.
