| L-R: Officer Emley, Chief Burch |
On February 13th, 2020, while going through the motions of a
normal Thursday morning, Officer Timothy Emley found himself in an emergency
situation in which an individual collapsed face down in the lobby of a school
building. Officer Emley along with a nurse and another first responder acted
quickly and began CPR. Officer Emley continued CPR until an AED arrived.
Officer Emley continued chest compressions while the AED was being prepped.
Utilizing teamwork, they were able to revive the person and have them transported
to the hospital where they were treated and eventually released. Because of
Officer Emley’s quick action and decision making along with assistance from other
first responders, this individual is alive today. Recently, the Cuba Police
Department awarded Officer Emley with the Life Saving Medal and commendation
during a private ceremony. It is because of Officer Emley’s heroic actions that
another person’s life was saved.
