Officer Wynn Earns Lifesaving Award

During an awards ceremony Friday at the Grand Key Resort, Key West Police Chief Sean Brandenburg presented Officer Craig Wynn with the Lifesaving Award.

During the late-night hours of December 28^th, Officer Wynn responded to a call that a 43-year old woman was not breathing. When he arrived, he noted that the caller and friend was administering CPR incorrectly.

Officer Wynn immediately determined that the victim was not breathing and had no pulse. Without hesitation he began providing life-saving chest compressions. Over the next few minutes, the victim would begin breathing, then stop. Undaunted, Officer Wynn continued to monitor her pulse and perform CPR until the medical team arrived. Officer Wynn noted that it took three doses of NARCAN to revive the woman.

“If not for Officer Wynn’s determination,” said Chief Brandenburg, “his outstanding skill, and professionalism, this woman would not have survived the overdose.”
