The Comanche Police Department posted the following on its Facebook page Wednesday afternoon:

The Comanche Police Department would like to commend both, Officer Lopez and Sergeant Trowbridge of the Comanche Police Department for their actions in saving lives. On December 24th, 2022, officers of the Comanche Police Department responded to a shooting where Sergeant Trowbridge reverted back to his “Stop the Bleed” training and was able to save the life of a victim who was shot. If it wasn’t for his quick response, the victim would have died from her injuries.

On January 11th, 2023, Officer Lopez was in a local restaurant eating breakfast when a nearby customer started choking on her food., keeping her from being able to breath. Officer Lopez calmly approached the customer in distress and performed the Heimlich Maneuver, which ultimately saved her life. Great Job to these two officers for their dedication to our communities and keeping the public safe.
