"TO
"TO PROTECT, SERVE AND LEAD OUR COMMUNITY TO A SAFER TOMORROW"
THAT'S THE MISSION OF
THE BOISE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
BUT JUST BECAUSE WE
KNOW THEIR MISSION...
WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW
OR HEAR ABOUT HOW FAR
THEY'LL GO TO HELP
THOSE IN NEED.
OUR SHIRAH MATSUZAWA
HAS AN INSIDE LOOK AT
THREE OF THOSE HEROIC,
LIFESAVING EFFORTS IN
SOME NEVER-BEFORE-
SEEN FOOTAGE.
NATS OF CHEST
COMPRESSIONS: "KEEP
DOING CHEST
COMPRESSIONS UNTIL WE
CAN GET OUR STUFF
DOWN?"
DOWN?"
NEWLY
NEWLY RELEASED BODY CAMERA VIDEO -- SHOWING THE NIGHT OF
DECEMBER FIRST 2018.
WHILE SOME 30-
THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE
AT THE MOUNTAIN WEST
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
WATCHING THE BOISE
STATE BRONCOS TAKE ON
THE FRESNO STATE
BULLDOGS .
READY CHUCK, 1, 2 ,3 UP,
LOTS OF HANDS, LOTS OF
HANDS, K. GOT IT? GOT IT.
FOUR BOISE POLICE
OFFICERS AND ADA
COUNTY PARAMEDICS
WERE WORKING TO BRING
A MAN . BACK TO LIFE.
WHAT TIME IS IT? TIME
BUDDY? 9:26PM
SERGEANT CHRIS
DAVIS.DETECTIVE CHUCK
ROATH
...OFFICER ROB RAINFORD
AND DETECTIVE DUSTIN
ROBINSON. ALL RUSHED
OVER.
OVER. THE
OVER. THE VICTIM, KEITH JONES HAD A HEART ATTACK.
THEY IMMEDIATELY BEGAN
C-P-R.
BUT THERE WERE SOME
CHALLENGES.
<
CHALLENGES. < CHRIS BPD: IN THE UPPER
DECK, AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE THE BLEACHERS
WERE LESS THAN A FOOT
WIDE AND THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE DOING CPR SO WE
HAVE HIM LAYING DOWN
ON THE BLEACHER AND
WE'RE TRYING TO BE ON
BOTH SIDES OF HIM TO
TRY AND GET THE BEST
CHEST COMPRESSIONS
AND THE CHALLENGES
DIDN'T STOP THERE --
<
<
CHRIS
CHRIS BPD: WE HAD TO GET HIM FROM THERE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE
FIELD, WHICH IS WHERE
THE AMBULANCE WAS
CHEERS IN THE
BACKGROUND GAME
ENDS, FIREWORKS AS
THEY SAY CLEAR>
ALTHOUGH BOISE STATE
LOST THAT NIGHT.
YOU GUYS CAN GO
AROUND
IS HE ALRIGHT? YEAH HE'S
OKAY, WE GOT HIM BACK
ALIVE
THE WORLD DIDN'T LOSE
KEITH.
WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE
GREAT OUTCOMES IN THE
STUFF WE DEAL WITH SO
DO CPR ON SOMEONE
AND ACTUALLY SEE THEM
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
BEING COMPLETELY FINE IS
ALMOST IMPRESSIVE
KEITH: BETWEEN THOSE 4
MEN, AND GOD, I'M HERE.
TODAY KEITH IS IN GOOD
SPIRITS AND THANKFUL.
KEITH: I CODED, YOU
KNOW, I WENT DEAD
THREE TIMES AND THEY
KEPT BRINGING ME BACK
AND I'M JUST LUCKY
THE OFFICER'S ACTIONS
EARNED THEM B-P-D'S
LIFE SAVING AWARD.
AN AWARD. KEITH
PRESENTED TO THEM.
DUSTIN:
DUSTIN: BPD: YOU NEVER GET IN THIS TO GET RECOGNIZED RIGHT, THAT
OUTCOME WAS ALL THE
RECOGNITION THAT WE
NEEDED
AND KEITH ISN'T THE
ONLY PERSON WHO
KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
BE SAVED BY A BOISE
POLICE OFFICER.
THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
I WAKE UP MAYBE LIKE 4
OR 5 DAYS LATER IN THE
ICU
BACK IN AUGUST... ALEX
SCHNIDER WAS
SWIMMING LAPS AT THE
BOISE STATE AQUATICS
CENTER. WHEN HE
BLACKED OUT.
THANKFULLY. ALEX
WASN'T ALONE.
TIM: I THINK I JUST KICKED
INTO ACTION AND SAID
HEY WE NEED TO GO HELP
HIM.
BOISE POLICE CORPORAL
TIM BEAUDOIN
WAS OFF-DUTY WHEN HE
SAW ALEX GO UNDER.
HE RAN OVER AND DOVE
INTO THE POOL WITH THE
LIFEGUARDS.
TIM: ANDREW AND I
GRABBED HIM AND
PULLED HIM OUT OF THE
POOL TOGETHER, AND I
STARTED COMPRESSIONS
AND ANNA CAME OVER
WITH A MASK AND WENT
AND GOT AN AED.
LIFEGUARD: IN THE
MOMENT EVERYTHING
HAPPENS SO FAST, SO YOU
JUST
JUST KIND
JUST KIND OF GO INTO AUTOPILOT BUT THEN AFTERWARDS WE WERE
LIKE SITTING THERE BE LIKE
'THAT ACTUALLY JUST
HAPPENED'
ALEX SPENT 15 DAYS IN
THE HOSPITAL.
AND ON NOVEMBER 6-
TH. THE BOISE POLICE
DEPARTMENT PRESENTED
CORPORAL BEAUDOIN
WITH THE LIFE SAVING
AWARD. AN HONOR HE
SHARED WITH THE
LIFEGUARDS.
TIM: WHAT MATTERS
MOST IS WE SAVED,
COLLECTIVELY SAVED A
YOUNG KID'S LIFE.
ALEX: THEY'RE HEROES
AND I OWE THEM MY LIFE
AND SO MUCH MORE
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
BPD HEROISM...
DAN: IT WAS IN THE
MIDDLE OF DECEMBER
AND THERE WAS QUITE A
BIT OF SNOW
AND IT WAS IN THE 20'S,
IT WAS REALLY COLD, I
REMEMBER IT WAS A COLD
NIGHT.
BOISE POLICE CORPORAL
DAN BARBER IS
DESCRIBING THE NIGHT HE
FOUND A MAN STRANDED
IN THE SNOW ON SHAW
MOUNTAIN ROAD.
RED SUV, HE'S OFF THE
ROAD AND JUST OFF THE
EDGE, I'M TALKING TO HIM
NOW, LET HIS WIFE KNOW
HEY ARE YOU OKAY? I
GOT FIRE COMING UP TO
HELP YOU OUT
CORPORAL BARBER WAS
WORKING PATROL WHEN
THE VICTIM'S WIFE CALLED
POLICE.
POLICE. SHE SAID HER HUSBAND LEFT THE HOUSE TO GO
TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE
HOURS EARLIER AND
NEVER RETURNED.
DAN: HE IS STRANDED
SOMEWHERE IN THE
FOOTHILLS SO WE'RE
GONNA NEED TO GET A
PING ON HIS PHONE
SO I CAN GET TO WHERE
HE'S AT.
Z
DISPATCH LOCATED HIM.
ALMOST AT THE TOP OF
ROCKY CANYON. RIGHT
NEAR ALDAPE SUMMIT.
DAN: SO I WENT TO
ROCKY CANYON AND I
COULD SEE ON THE MAP
WHERE HE WAS AT AND
SURE ENOUGH IT WENT
FROM PAVED TO DIRT TO
SNOW AND THEN I WENT
UNTIL MY CAR GOT STUCK
THAT'S WHEN THE
CORPORAL JUMPED OUT
OF HIS CAR. AND
STARTED JOGGING.
SEARCHING FOR THE MAN.
.
NATS: HIM RUNNING
WHICH BRING US BACK TO
THIS MOMENT....
THIS MOMENT....
HOW
HOW LONG
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? IT S DAYLIGHT WHEN I GOT
STUCK
DAN: HE WAS SITTING IN
HIS TRUCK AND HIS
TRUCK WAS SIDEWAYS
AND IT WAS ALMOST
TIPPED OVER AND HE WAS
UP AGAINST THE HILL ON
THE OTHER SIDE SO HE
COULDN'T GET OUT OF
HIS DOOR
FIRE CREWS ARRIVED A
SHORT TIME LATER...
<
HE'S GOOD TO GO, NICE
TO MEET YOU KEEP YOUR
HANDS
HANDS WARM HE SAID HE WAS PLANNING ON BEING HERE
ALL NIGHT, HE WAS JUST
SITTING THERE SMOKING A
CIGARETTE AND LISTENING
TO CLASSICAL MUSIC.
A HAPPY ENDING TO
WHAT COULD HAVE
POTENTIALLY BEEN MUCH
WORSE.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE
WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND
HIM THAT NIGHT, WE
WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND
HIM FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
THOSE WERE JUST THREE
EXAMPLES OF HEROISM
FROM B-P-D.
ALL OF THE OFFICERS IN
THOSE STORIES WANT TO
STRESS THAT THEY DIDN'T
DO THIS ALONE.
IT WAS ALL TEAMWORK
BETWEEN THEMSELVES
AND THE OTHER
AGENCIES.. AS WELL AS
PEOPLE WHO WERE
THERE.
