Rotary Club of Jackson honors officer for role in saving gunshot victim
The Rotary Club of Jackson honored Lt. William Kendrick with the “Officer of The Quarter Award” for his role in assisting with saving the life of a young gunshot victim, the Jackson Police Department said in a Facebook post.
The Facebook post thanked the Rotary Club of Jackson for its continued support of the police department. The Rotary Club is a local chapter of Rotary International, a civic service organization that frequently partners with communities and local agencies on public service and charitable initiatives.
The award underscores the role local law enforcement can play in emergency medical response and community safety, and it highlights partnerships between civic groups and police that officials say can boost morale and public trust. The post did not provide additional details about the shooting, the victim’s condition or when the recognition occurred.
No further information was available from the department at the time of the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
