A Big CMPD News Day In The OC Register

TWO GREAT ARTICLES
Monday was a very big day for the Costa Mesa Police Department on the pages of the Orange County Register.

COPS SAVE IMPAIRED GIRL
Leading the way, on page 1 of the Local section, HERE, was this great article by Claudia Koerner about the rescue of the 14-year-old girl rescued by members of the CMPD while teetering in a stupor over the 55 Freeway last Tuesday.  Mentioned specifically in this article were Sergeant Tim Starn and officers James Brown and David Sevilla.

OLIN SAVES DROWNED GIRL
Then, in the same section, the entire page 5, HERE, was used by writer Samantha Dunn to tell the story of the lifesaving effort by Officer Matt Olin last week when he brought a four-year-old girl back to life after she drowned in a family pool.
NOT BEHIND THE PAYWALL
Fortunately for most of us, it looks like you can access both of these excellent articles because they don't appear to be protected by the Register's bogus paywall.

KUDOS
One more time, congratulations to all the officers involved in these heroic efforts.



Mariah, if you please...

It Was A Great Day In Costa Mesa Last Monday!

A GREAT DAY!
Last Monday was a very good day for one special 4-year old child in Costa Mesa, for police officers Matt Olin and Nicole Brown and for responding members of the Costa Mesa Fire Department.
OFFICER SAVES LIFE
It's not every day that an officer gets to save the life of a child, but that's exactly what happened when Olin responded to a call of a non-responsive child in a backyard swimming pool recently.  You can read the press release about the event HERE.
A GREAT JOB BY ALL...
Kudos to Officers Olin and Brown, and to the members of the Costa Mesa Fire Department who also responded to the event and continued the care of the young girl who's life was saved on that day.  It's a proud day for the men and women who provide public safety for the residents and visitors to our city.  Thanks to them all.
