Two Greenwich Police Officers were given Divisional Letters of Recognition last week. Captain Kraig Gray recognized Officers Yves Pierre and Shane Geery with the letters for their life-saving actions last week when they responded to a medical call of an overdose and used Narcan to bring the patient back to conciseness. The patient was then taken to Greenwich Hospital after GEMS arrived on the scene. “Greenwich Police Officers are both trained and equipped to provide advanced first aid to seriously ill and injured patients in a pre-hospital setting. The response of the Greenwich Police Officers, coupled with our partners’ Greenwich Emergency Medical Service expert paramedic services, has saved countless lives.” If you or a loved one needs substance abuse treatment, please call 1-800-563-4086 to talk to someone from Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and start the road to recovery.
