Bingen-White Salmon Police Officer Receives Life Saving Award

The City of White Salmon and the Bingen-White Salmon Police Department recognized Officer Will Sauter with a Life Saving Award in recognition of his swift and decisive actions that helped save a life during a medical emergency involving a fentanyl overdose.  On the day of the incident, Sauter responded after hearing a dispatch for an overdose in progress, with CPR already underway.  He was the first to arrive on scene, where he found one man attempting to revive his brother.  Sauter immediately took over CPR and administered multiple doses of Naloxone, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses.  After several minutes and a final dose, the individual began breathing again and regained a pulse.  Emergency medical personnel arrived shortly after and transported the patient to the hospital for further care.  The award was presented by Chief Mike Hepner during the White Salmon City Council meeting last week.
