Key West Police Chief Donie Lee today presented Officers Curtiss Richardson and Alex Rodriguez with the department’s Lifesaving Award.

On September 10th, Officer Richardson responded to a call to find an unconscious woman who was not breathing and had no pulse. Officer Richardson immediately began CPR.

Officer Rodriguez arrived on the scene just seconds later and assisted in the live saving measures until rescue arrived and transported the woman to the hospital, where she was stabilized and is recovering.

“The quick response of these officers is to be commended, as they helped save this woman’s life,” said Chief Lee.
