The Saline County Sheriff's Office recognized personnel for their efforts to help save the life of someone found outside the Saline County Jail.
In a post on the sheriff's office Facebook page, Sheriff Roger Soldan wrote the following.
It's always good to recognize staff members with a Commendation for a job well done, it's even more rewarding when their actions save a life.
The Commendation reads as follows -
On September 26, 2021 Corporal Kaitlin Carter, Jail Nurse Callie Bendickson and Deputies Trey Palmer, Scott Olson and Wesley Hawley responded to a report of an unresponsive male laying on Elm Street just north of the jail. Once they arrived it was learned the subject was a known drug user and Narcan was administered. EMS transported the subject to the hospital. Medics said the male patient would have died if Corrections staff had not administered Narcan.
Congratulations on a job well done!
