Thank you Officer Foster for all you do! ๐
On Saturday, July 26th, Officer Joey Foster of the Hazen Police Department responded to a serious multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 40.
When he arrived, he found an individual who had lost a lower limb in the crash. Acting quickly, Officer Foster borrowed a belt from a bystander and used it as an improvised tourniquet to stop the bleeding โ a split-second decision that saved the individualโs life before EMS could arrive.
His quick thinking, resourcefulness, and commitment to saving lives are a true example of what it means to serve.
We are proud of Officer Foster and thankful for the bystanders who assisted. Heroes come in many forms.
