The Chatham-Kent Police Service is recognizing Emergency Communications Operator Abigail Case and Const. Brigley with a Board Citation for their response to a medical emergency involving an infant.
On May 3, at approximately 9:09 p.m., Case received a 911 call reporting that an infant was unresponsive and not breathing. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, she immediately transferred the call to Chatham-Kent Emergency Medical Services while ensuring an incident was created so police officers could be dispatched without delay.
Const. Brigley arrived at approximately 9:10 p.m. and immediately continued CPR and rescue breathing. His efforts were successful, and the infant, who was two months old at the time, began breathing independently and regained consciousness. Chatham-Kent paramedics arrived shortly afterward and transported the infant to hospital for further care. CKPS said the infant has since made a full recovery.
The Chatham-Kent Police Services Board recognized both members with a Board Citation for their extraordinary efforts and commitment to public safety.
