Gulfport Police award life-saving medal to Sgt. Kenneth Nassar
The Gulfport Police Department said in a Facebook post that it is extending congratulations to Sgt. Kenneth Nassar after awarding him the department’s life-saving medal for prompt and decisive actions during a call for service that led to the successful rescue of a community member.
The department, the municipal law enforcement agency that serves the city of Gulfport, routinely recognizes officers who demonstrate exceptional performance in emergency situations. Police life-saving awards typically honor actions that directly preserve life and reflect training and quick decision-making under pressure.
Awards such as this are intended to acknowledge individual officers and to reinforce public confidence in emergency response capabilities. The department said the medal reflects Nassar’s actions during the incident, and it highlighted the role that timely intervention can play in protecting residents.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
