Bulletin Notes
Law enforcement officers are challenged daily while answering the call of duty; they face each encounter freely and unselfishly. In certain instances, their actions warrant special attention from their respective departments. The Bulletin also wants to recognize those situations that transcend the normal rigors of the profession.
Officers Garrett Driscoll, Micah Wilks, and Michael Candler of the Sugar Land, Texas, Police Department responded to a call regarding a vehicle sinking in a lake known for the presence of alligators and snakes. A female driver was trapped inside the car. The officers entered the water to rescue the woman, breaking out a window and pulling her to safety only minutes before the vehicle became completely submerged.
