Thank you for you servi e and dedication sir.
In March of 2026, Sgt. Nathan Wendel responded to an address in the Village of Randolph after dispatch received a 911 hangup call. Once Sgt. Wendel arrived, he found a 17-year-old female unresponsive. Due to a language barrier, Sgt. Wendel was unable to quickly obtain information about the patient or the situation.
Sgt. Wendel attempted to wake the female using a sternum rub, which was unsuccessful. Observing no signs of life, Sgt. Wendel began CPR. After twenty chest compressions, the female regained consciousness but remained unresponsive. Sgt. Wendel moved the female to the recovery position and continued to monitor her until EMS arrived and transported her to a local hospital.
Despite the challenges he faced on the call, Sgt. Wendel remained focused and relied on his training and experience. We are proud to present Sgt. Nathan Wendel with a Lifesaving Award.
