TWO Essex police officers and a Communications Officer with the force have been praised for their teamwork which helped a woman who was suffering a suspected stroke.<\/p>\n
A welfare call came into the force earlier this month prompting fears that a woman needed police and paramedic assistance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Communications Officer Lyn Newins, who also volunteers as a Special Constable, managed to identify the woman\u2019s identity despite her not being able to divulge much information during the call.<\/p>\n
Having carried out several name and address searches on the system, Lyn was able to despatch officers to the scene.<\/p>\n
PCs Dave Read and Jon Gould found a boy at the address, but he was unaware of his mum\u2019s situation, so the officers had to search the property to find her.<\/p>\n
Once they had done so they administered first aid and flagged down an ambulance who picked up the care of the woman and called in an air ambulance.<\/p>\n
Essex Police District Commander for Brentwood and Epping, Chief Inspector Lewis Basford, praised the teamwork of all involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout the work of our contact handlers and the timely intervention of our officers, the woman\u2019s situation would have been a lot worse.<\/p>\n
They all went above and beyond to help someone in need in our community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish her a speedy recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
