California
San Diego County
Chula Vista
On December 10, 2012 at about 10:45 PM Sergeants Pat White and Scott Hall responded to an emergency with their lights on and siren activated to a call of a fifty eight year old female not breathing in the 500 block of G St in Chula Vista. The female had a history of heart attacks and had a pacemaker. When the Sergeants arrived they were met by a hysterical family none of whom were performing CPR and one member was vomiting in the house. Sergeant White took a CPR mask and with the assistance of Sergeant Hall calmly started CPR. After about three minutes the fire department arrived , administered drugs and shocked her with a defibrillator several times. After fifteen minutes, the female started breathing on her own and came back to life. She was transported to a hospital and survived. A doctor at the hospital later said the efforts of the officers saved the woman's life.
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.
