Congratulations to Kevin!

Well, I know my husband probably wouldn't mention this to anyone but he just received a very honorable award yesterday for work. While this recognition was overlooked for far too long he finally did get recognition for saving a woman's life last September. A woman crossed the street on old Shakopee Road (extremely busy road) during rush hour and was nearly fatally hit. This woman was nearing death and Kevin came on the scene and was smart enough to know what to do and he opened he air way to keep her alive. This training no doubt came from Kevin's EMT training from years past. He would never say this, but the majority of officers would not have been able to open this woman's air way like he did. The woman was rushed to the hospital and although extremely beat up, not to mentions having a severely damaged carotid artery, survived exactly because of what Kevin did. In fact, the hospital called the police department to make sure that they knew that Kevin's quick and smart efforts are what gave this woman another chance at life. I am so proud of Kevin and have always know he has been an incredible officer but this just shows me that he truly is out there saving lives. So, congratulations Kevin for going above and beyond the call of duty and we are more than fortunate to have you protecting us......oh and I love you very much too!
