CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Officer Timothy Simulis with the Clarksville Police Department was recently presented with a Lifesaver Award after his actions saved an elderly man.
On March 2, 2018, Officer Simulis arrived at a Scarlett Drive residence and found a 78-year-old man who was unresponsive and did not appear to be breathing. He used an Automated External Defibrillator and began chest compressions until emergency medical personnel arrived on scene.
“Officer Simulis’ actions directly contributed to the patient regaining a pulse and breathing prior to department for treatment at a medical facility,” CPD spokesman Jim Knoll said. “His actions are a credit to himself, the Clarksville Police Department, and the City of Clarksville.”
