Woodstock Police Officers Recognized With Lifesaving Awards

Several Woodstock PD officers were recognized with Lifesaving Awards. During a meeting with the mayor and Woodstock City Council, Officers Ben Bitzer, Robert Brown, Barron Dixon, Scott Gross, and Justin Hinkle were honored for their emergency medical assistance and lifesaving efforts during calls in April, May, and June.

On April 26, Officers Brown and Hinkle responded to a domestic dispute at an apartment complex off Arnold Mill Road. When the police officers arrived the alleged suspect jumped out of the bedroom window of the second-floor apartment. While falling to the ground, the individual struck a first-floor apartment window before striking the ground and sustaining life-threatening injuries. Both officers ran to the victim and began treating injuries. Officer Hinkle placed a tourniquet on the injured left leg while Officer Brown kept the victim from losing consciousness.

On May 5, Woodstock PD received a call in reference to a 2-year-old child not breathing. Officer Dixon was on his way home, off duty, and heard the call. He immediately responded and found the child lying on his back, not breathing, appearing lifeless. The mother was on the phone with 911. Officer Dixon began chest compressions while the mother attempted to breathe life back into the child. Moments later, the child opened his eyes and was conscious.

On June 9, Officers Bitzer, Dixon, and Gross responded to a stabbing call at a residence off Highway 92. When they arrived on scene, the suspect had been taken into custody. The officers then located two victims, both of whom had multiple critical wounds. The officers worked together, providing extensive medical care to the victims and assisting Fire and EMS personnel.
