Policy
The Life Saving Award may be awarded to any employee for a direct action in saving a human life that involved exceptional courage or performance, involved prolonged lifesaving efforts, or went beyond the call of duty and beyond standard or required training protocols. The Awards Committee may consider such things as the duration of lifesaving efforts such as CPR or negotiations, whether the officer was alone or assisted, whether the scene was chaotic or contained a significant biohazard, and the length of time before EMS or Fire arrived.
The Life Saving Award sworn recipient shall receive a white uniform bar. The Life Saving Award civilian recipient shall receive a plaque.
