Waynesville employee honored with lifesaving award after May medical emergency
Summary
The council recognized town employee Aaliyah Cagle with the Waynesville Police Department's Lifesaving Chiefs Award for actions on May 22 that helped a coworker during a medical emergency.
The Town of Waynesville recognized employee Aaliyah Cagle for lifesaving actions during a May 22 medical emergency.
A representative of the Windsor Police Department (presenting on behalf of local law-enforcement partners) asked Cagle to step forward and described how her quick action, remaining with the coworker and assisting until paramedics arrived, contributed to saving a life. The presenter said the Waynesville Police Department confers the Lifesaving Chiefs Award on employees who, while serving in their official capacity, perform a distinct and successful life-saving act. "While a fellow coworker was experiencing a medical emergency, immediate action assistance and remaining by the coworker's side until paramedics arrived aided in saving a life," the presenter said.
The council had earlier moved to amend the agenda to add the recognition; that agenda amendment was approved by voice vote. Council and staff thanked Cagle for her actions.
No further formal action was required beyond the recognition; the award was presented and accepted during the meeting.
