BELLEVUE POLICE OFFICERS HELP SAVE A LIFE

Earlier this month, three Bellevue police officers responded to a shoplifting incident at a local store. When the store’s loss prevention officer was giving his report, he suddenly collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest. The officers quickly began chest compressions and applied an AED. By the time firefighters and paramedics arrived, the gentleman was awake and breathing on his own and has made a full recovery. The three police officers and paramedics had the opportunity to reunite with the gentleman and his wife a few weeks later.
