Natrona County Sheriff’s Awards [VIDEO]
The Natrona County Sheriff's Office held its 2017 Annual Awards Ceremony on Thursday.
Both deputies and private citizens were honored this year. Sheriff Gus Holbrook says, this is a special ceremony every year to honor those in the Sheriff's Office who stand out in the opinion of their peers.
And he says, it's a chance to thank those civilians who go above and beyond to help and sometimes, save the lives of others. This year that included a water rescue at Alcova Lake, a climbing rescue at Rotary Park, and CPR that saved the life of a heart attack victim.
