IAM Police Officers Save Boy's Life

A pair of Pennsylvania police officers were on duty recently at the Southern Regional Police Department in New Freedom, PA when a young boy rushed in, pleading for help for his brother who had just collapsed on a nearby playground.

The two officers responded immediately and found the 15 year-old boy unconscious and in cardiac arrest. Charles “Butch” Stahm and Darryl Smuck began cardiopulmonary resuscitation and applied the department’s defibrillator until the ambulance and emergency medical technicians arrived.

Thanks to the officer’s quick response and subsequent treatment at York Hospital and the Hershey Medical Center, the boy recovered from his brush with death and is home with his family.

“All of the officers and members of District 98 and Local Lodge 243 are extremely proud of these two dedicated public servants,” said District Lodge 98 DBR Tom Boger. “Both Butch and Darryl are dedicated union members who serve on the IAM negotiating committee at Southern Regional Police Department. We owe a debt of gratitude to Officers Smuck and Strahm. It is members like these who make our organization great.”
