WHEREAS, Lieutenant Adrian Diaz of the Corpus Christi Police |
|
|
Department has deservedly been presented with a Life Saving Award |
|
|
for his heroic actions in the line of duty; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On November 4, 2014, Lieutenant Diaz responded to a |
|
|
9-1-1 call about a man who was found unconscious in his truck; the |
|
|
man's companion had begun performing CPR to restore his breathing |
|
|
and heartbeat, and after arriving on the scene, Lieutenant Diaz |
|
|
joined him and another officer, Bob Dorsch, in administering chest |
|
|
compressions and rescue breathing to keep the victim alive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although the victim remained unresponsive, the |
|
|
three men continued their efforts until paramedics could reach them |
|
|
and transport the man to a hospital; miraculously, the victim |
|
|
survived, which emergency personnel credited to their early and |
|
|
sustained attempts to resuscitate him; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a crisis situation, Lieutenant Adrian Diaz |
|
|
remained calm and implemented the skills he had learned in his |
|
|
training, and in so doing, he helped to save the life of a fellow |
|
|
Texan in need; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize Lieutenant Adrian Diaz on his receipt |
|
|
of the Life Saving Award from the Corpus Christi Police Department |
|
|
and extend to him sincere appreciation for his admirable public |
|
|
service; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Lieutenant Diaz as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
