On December 12, 2011, Reserve Officers (and PSK Grand President) Tim Vojtasko (Indiana University of Pennsylvania '85) and Jack Herriot responded to a disorderly call.  Shortly after arriving on the scene, the two were informed that a vehicle was blocking the street.  As they approached, the vehicle which was on a steep hill, the driver opened the door and stepped out.  As he stepped out of the vehicle it began to roll backwards, knocking him to the ground and underneath the moving vehicle.

Reserve Officer Vojtasko quickly ran behind the vehicle and began to push it forward in an attempt to prevent it from rolling over the driver. Reserve Officer Herriot quickly jumped inside and activated the emergency brake.  Once the vehicle was stopped, Officer Herriot cautiously pulled the driver who was unconscious from under the vehicle. Reserve Officers Vojtasko and Herriot assisted in rendering aid to the driver until the arrival of EMS who transported him to George Washington University Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

If not for the quick reaction of Reserve Officers Herriot and Vojtasko this incident could have been fatal.    

Officer Jack Herriott and Steven Vojtasko (Maryland '87) were recognized with a Life Saving Medal.  The medal was presented by Chief Cathy Lanier, Assistant Chief Patrick Burke and Commander Richard Southby.
