    Fontana School Police Recognition

    The Fontana School Police Department was recognized for lifesaving efforts. On Monday, October 22, 2018, Lead Safety Officer Joseph Huff was traveling on San Bernardino Avenue and Catawba Avenue when he encountered a car in the middle of the street. As Lead Huff approached the car, he noticed that there was a gentleman inside the car who was not breathing. He radioed dispatcher Efrain who was able to broadcast the information to responding officers. Sergeant Avalos arrived at the scene along with Officer Crowther, Officer Shaw and Corporal Shanen and began directing traffic. 

    When the gentleman was taken out of the car, the officers began performing lifesaving measures. Sergeant Avalos and Office Crowther began performing CPR. The rest of the officers that arrived began directing traffic, fortunately their actions allowed the paramedics to continue lifesaving measures. The gentleman was taken to the hospital where he was resuscitated and survived due to the fast response from the ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ School Police Department.”
