JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -

Gov. Jay Nixon awarded the Missouri Medal of Valor to nine public safety officers from across the state for their courageous and exceptional efforts to save lives and protect the public in 2014. The ceremony was Wednesday at the Capitol.

The officers who responded to the deadly threats represent Missouri police and EMS and fire departments, as well as the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of Corrections and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

“These nine courageous individuals exemplify the bravery and commitment of Missouri’s public safety officers to serving and protecting the public,” Gov. Nixon said. “Each story is unique – from subduing an armed attacker to giving medical care while under gunfire to braving flood waters and entering a burning building to pull trapped victims to safety – but the character of the individuals involved, their decisiveness of action and selfless commitment to protecting the public is the same.”
