\u201cI would like to congratulate all the award recipients for their accomplishments,\u201d said Maj.

The efforts these police officers display daily make our campus a safer place in which to live, work and learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

University Police Officers John Bush, of Charlestown, and Nicholas Detroia, of Warwick, were honored for their efforts to save the life of a suicidal student. The two responded to a report of a suicidal female and immediately began life-saving procedures.

\u201cOfficers DeTroia and Bush take their professional obligations very seriously and value our partnership with our entire community,\u201d Jagoda said. \u201cDuring a critical\u00a0incident, officers DeTroia and Bush reacted quickly and resorted to their extensive training to provide aid to a person who sustained serious injuries.\u00a0Their direct actions saved one of our community members from suffering\u00a0a more serious injury or even possible death.\u00a0I am very proud of these officers\u00a0for their quick actions and for performing at such a high professional level.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the second departmental honor for Detroia, who last year earned the Meritorious Service Award for his aid in apprehending a homicide suspect near the University\u2019s Alton Jones Campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant Flanagan and Officer Hanrahan’s commitment to training has resulted in law enforcement\u00a0agencies throughout Rhode Island recognizing\u00a0the skill level of our instructors\u00a0and police officers,\u201d Jagoda said. \u201cNot only have Sergeant Flanagan and Officer Hanrahan helped train our 溏心vlog免费B站 police officers, they have helped train officers from other law enforcement\u00a0agencies in the proper techniques and mechanics of responding effectively to a critical\u00a0incident such as an active shooter.\u00a0This is another example of how progressive our police department is and the level of training our officers receive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flanagan was honored last year for his efforts investigating a felonious assault that eventually led to an arrest. Hanrahan was also honored last year for his work as the department\u2019s Community Policing Liaison.<\/p>\n
