Deputy Miron and Deputy Gross are being honored for their actions when they performed a life-saving act along a busy stretch of highway to assist a driver experiencing a medical emergency.
On September 12, 2024, Miron and Gross were patrolling the highway when they noticed a driver that appeared to be in a daze and unresponsive, traveling at a slow speed.
Deputy Gross was able to pull his cruiser alongside of the other driver while Deputy Miron climbed from the cruiser into the other driver’s vehicle, through the open driver’s window, safely getting the vehicle stopped and the driver medical care.
“These officers are heroes, quickly thinking on their feet to help someone in need, and doing so risking their own safety to display an act of valor that we are proud to recognize,” said William Alexander, CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. “We are humbled to honor Deputies Miron and Gross as our Officers of the Month for September 2024.”
The Officer of the Month Award Program is sponsored by the Police Unity Tour and recognizes federal, state, and local officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary law enforcement service and devotion to duty.
