SPECIAL ORDER OF THE DAY -
Recognition of Officer Schlesinger for Heroic ActionMayor Walker announced that the auto defibrillator program has been a success. Officer Schlesinger recently used the defibrillator to successfully resuscitate a heart attack victim. The victim was a visitor from Korea, and he achieved a full recovery and was able to travel back home within a few weeks of the incident. Chief Bakin recognized Officer Schlesinger for his heroic action, and thanked the Council and the community for their long-term support of the defibrillator program. He then introduced three long-term survivors whose lives were saved through the use of the defibrillator, and recognized the officers who had applied the defibrillator to save their lives.
