TD Police Officer Honored For Saving Man From Drug Overdose

The Dalles Police Sergeant Doug Kramer was honored for his actions in saving a man from potentially dying from a drug overdose during a City Council meeting this week.  Police Chief Tom Worthy presented the Lifesaving Award and letter of commendation to Kramer.  Worthy said on June 2, Kramer arrived at a home to find a woman giving CPR to a man in the bathroom.  Kramer recognized the man had symptoms of a drug overdose, and was trained in the use of NARCAN, which he administered to the man who began to breathe again.  As the man woke up to emergency crews assisting him, Kramer was able to calm him down and explain what happened, staying with the man until he was taken for further medical treatment.
