Nassau Bay police honor three officers with distinguished-service and life-saving awards
Summary
At the July 14 meeting the city presented a distinguished service award to Officer Ben Bedford for recovering a missing vehicle and life-saving awards to Officers Hank Hughes and Corina Richards for their roles in responding to a May 26 shooting victim who later survived.
The Nassau Bay Police Department presented awards to officers during the city council meeting on July 14.
Police recognized Officer Ben Bedford with a distinguished-service award for locating and recovering a vehicle reported missing May 20; Bedford used the city’s Flock Safety monitoring system to locate the vehicle, which led to the arrest of an acquaintance on outstanding warrants and to the recovery of illegal narcotics, staff said.
Sergeant Crowder and Sergeant Dean joined the awards presentation. On May 26, Officers Hank Hughes and Corina Richards responded to a reported shooting on the 2,000 block of San Sebastian. The officers located a woman with a gunshot wound to the neck area. Officers stabilized the victim, secured her in a patrol unit and ensured her evacuation; staff said the victim ultimately survived because of the officers’ actions. For that response, the department presented life-saving awards to Hughes and Richards.
The presentations were part of the council’s regular agenda and involved commendations from the chief and city representatives. No policy actions or disciplinary items were associated with the awards.
