We are proud to announce that Santa Cruz Police Officer Jesse Pidcock was one of the first responders recognized for his lifesaving efforts.
In April
2014, William Curtis collapsed while riding his
bike on West Cliff. As the call came out over the radio, Officer Pidcock
responded and was the first to arrive. Officer Pidcock
quickly assessed Mr. Curtis’ condition and began CPR. He continued with
CPR until Firefighters and Paramedics arrived.
Thanks to Officer Pidcock’s quick thinking and decisive action, Mr. Curtis
is alive and well today.
Officer Pidcock’s response
illustrates the commitment of first responders to be well-trained and ready for
whatever comes next in their daily assignments.
For all the first responders recognized
in today’s ceremony, SCPD salutes you. It takes a special kind of
dedication to public service to do what you do.
Thank
you to the Board of Supervisors for today’s recognition. The Santa Cruz Police Department is proud of Officer
Jesse Pidcock and we are so pleased Mr. Curtis was able to join us in today’s
ceremony.
