We are proud to announce that Officers Haley, Goulding, Gonzalez, and Lt. Mercado are being awarded the Employee of the Month for May 2024 for their actions on Saturday, May 11, 2024.

At approximately 8 PM, Officer Haley was first on the scene of a motorist experiencing a cardiac episode on Poplar Avenue in Collierville. Officer Haley quickly broke the window and cut the driver's seatbelt to extricate the unconscious man and began performing CPR. Officer Goulding arrived next and assisted with chest compressions, followed by Lt. Mercado who ensured EMS was on the way and provided an updated location. Officer Gonzalez then joined the efforts, alternating chest compressions with his colleagues. Recognizing the critical need for rescue breathing, Lt. Mercado retrieved a CPR mask and administered assisted breathing.

Their coordinated and tireless efforts continued until CFD arrived and took over medical operations, ultimately detecting a pulse and reviving the patient. The motorist was then rushed to Germantown Methodist, where he was listed in stable condition.

The quick thinking, teamwork, and dedication of these officers, as well as the Collierville Fire Department, saved a life that night. We are incredibly grateful for their service and proud to honor them as Employees of the Month.
