Pokagon Tribal Police officers honored for saving girl's life

DOWAGIAC, MI -- Two Pokagon Tribal Police officers are being recognized for their efforts in saving a girl's life.

Officers Trent DeGroff and Kevin Slater were honored at a recent Tribal Council meeting in Dowagiac for their "quick thinking and professionalism in saving a life," according to a news release from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi.

In February, DeGroff and Slater responded to a call in Watervliet on the report of a girl who was in full cardiac arrest. They arrived within moments of the call where the father was administering CPR. The officers asked the man to stop chest compressions to prevent serious injury. DeGroff began a medical assessment and found the child to have a pulse with labored and sporadic breathing.
