Please join us in congratulating Officer Shaw and Officer OLaughlin on receiving a Wentzville Police Department Life Saving Award for their actions during a recent medical emergency. Officers were dispatched to a report of a male experiencing a possible heart attack. Family members had already begun CPR when Officer Shaw and Officer OLaughlin arrived before medics and immediately took over lifesaving efforts. The officers continued chest compressions, provided medical aid and prepared the departments AED. They administered two sequences of shocks before medics arrived. Shortly afterward, the male began breathing on his own and regained consciousness. He was able to speak with medics as he was transported to the hospital for further treatment. Thanks to the quick and decisive actions of Officer Shaw and Officer OLaughlin, the victim survived the emergency and is making a full recovery. We are proud of the professionalism, training and composure these officers demonstrated when every second mattered. Their actions are an excellent example of the difference our officers can make when they are prepared to respond to both public safety and medical emergencies. Congratulations, Officer Shaw and Officer OLaughlin and thank you for your dedication to serving and protecting our community. #WentzvillePD
