Exemplary California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) employees will be honored for their bravery during the department’s 2018 Medal of Valor ceremony in Elk Grove. The Silver Star for bravery will be awarded to Correctional Officer Chris Peterson and Supervising Registered Nurse II David Toman, both of Folsom State Prison. Peterson dove into the frigid San Joaquin River to rescue two men who were struggling in the current last year after one suffered a cardiac event. Toman performed similar heroics last year, saving a man who cried out for help before disappearing under moving water in the Yuba River. Correctional Sergeant Joel Herrera of San Quentin State Prison will also receive the Bronze Star for bravery, after saving the life of a young boy who had been struck by a vehicle and was lying unconscious on the ground. Herrera, a former EMT firefighter, helped the boy breathe into a tube until the ambulance arrived. The boy survived. Sixteen employees present at the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting in Las Vegas, will be honored with the Medal of Valor, CDCR’s highest award for bravery in the face of life-threatening peril. They faced a disaster almost beyond comprehension – the worst mass shooting in modern history in the United States. Their sacrifices and the tragic loss of life will be recognized by the Department. Also honored will be the family of the late Lt. Derrick “Bo” Taylor, whose actions at the shooting saved lives, while he sacrificed his own. CDCR will broadcast a special video about the actions of staff and the profound impact that event had on them. The event will take place Friday, Sept. 14, 2018 at Creekside Christian Church, 8939 East Stockton Blvd., Elk Grove. Ceremony begins at 10 a.m. (guests should arrive no later than 9:30 a.m.) |
