Eugene Police honor civilian and deputy chief for lifesaving actions

Eugene, OR – The Eugene Police Department recently recognized two individuals for their heroic actions during a critical incident earlier this year.
Makayla, a civilian and good Samaritan, was presented with a Civilian Life Saving Award at the department’s awards ceremony.
According to EPD, Makayla acted quickly during a life-threatening emergency, stepping in to assist and ultimately helping save a life.
Her bravery was honored in front of family, friends, and members of the department.
Also awarded was Deputy Chief Shawn Adams, who was at the scene with Makayla and provided critical assistance. For his swift and effective response, Adams received the department’s Life Saving Award.
