Marceline, MO -
At the regular City Council meeting on September 13,
2023, Mayor Sallie Buck, on behalf of the City of Marceline, presented
Lifesaving Award plaques to Officer Amy Dunlap and Officer Jermey Nelson of the
Marceline Police Department in recognition for their fast and professional
response to a life-threatening emergency that saved a life on Sunday, May 28,
2023.
At 4:54 pm on that date, Officers Dunlap and Nelson
responded to a medical emergency at the Marceline Motel in response to a
56-year-old female with chest pain. When Officers Dunlap and Nelson
arrived on the scene, the female, Susan McCollum, was found to be unresponsive
and not breathing. The Officers started CPR and an AED was administered.
Ms. McCollum was transported by Linn County Ambulance, the patient had a pulse
and was breathing on her own.
Susan is doing well and was present at the ceremony
with her husband, Steve, to offer her appreciation for the officer's lifesaving
actions. "As a nurse, I can
attest that Officers Dunlap and Nelson did exactly what they were trained to do
and without hesitation," stated Ms. McCollum. "for that, I am forever
greatful."
Following the presentation, Matt Bowen,
Administrator, and Scott Chrisman, Operations Manager, from the Linn County
Ambulance District, also presented Officer Dunlap with a Clinical Save Award for
the same action.
Because of public servants like Officers Dunlap and
Nelson, the Marceline community is a better and safer place to live.
