Two members of the El Dorado Police Department were recognized this week for their efforts that saved lives.
Life Saving Medals were presented to Sergeant Sean McCormick and Detective Lieutenant Maggie Schreiber were presented by Police Chief Kurt Zieman before officers were recognized at the most recent El Dorado City Commission meeting.
In addition, a Certificate of Commendation was presented to Patrol Officer Brett Sanchez for his role in a drug investigation.
On Feb.24, 2020, emergency units were dispatched to a 24-year-old Code Blue in El Dorado. McCormick immediately responded to the scene and found the male unconscious, not breathing and turning purple. He began chest compressions until arrival of El Dorado Fire and Butler County EMS. Officer McCormick was able to obtain information on what the subject possibly ingested and relayed that information to medical personnel.
