Chief Joseph Elias presented Amber Dousi and Alexis Lockett with Citizen Life Saving Awards in recognition of their swift, decisive, and courageous actions on March 22, 2021 that resulted in saving the life of a fellow citizen on the Reeceville Road overpass at U.S. Route 30. The women observed a despondent young man standing on the bridge, looking over the railing, and then lifting his leg as if he was going to jump. They recognized imminent danger and then selflessly, without concern for their own safety, stopped, grabbed the man, and placed him in their vehicle until police arrived. Coincidentally, the responding officer, Officer Joseph Carboni, saved a young woman from a similar fate at the same location three months earlier.
