Deputy Marion Campbell is to be commended for his actions on July 23, 2015 which resulted in the saving of a life.

        On July 23rd, 2015 while on routine traffic enforcement duties on the 2800 block of Glenn Hills Drive, Deputy Marlon Campbell observed a silver Chevrolet Impala traveling at an increased rate of speed traveling south on Glenn Hills Dr. He was able to catch up to the vehicle when it stopped at Glenn Hills Drive and Vernon Drive. Deputy Campbell encountered a Mr. Collier, who was the driver and learned that his son who was being held by the mother, Ms. Davis in the front passenger seat was not breathing. Deputy Campbell made contact with the juvenile and found him to be cold to the touch, cyanotic, not breathing and was not able to palpate a pulse. Deputy Campbell immediately took action starting CPR and requesting EMS to the scene. I, Corporal Schaffer along with Deputy Usry, T3, responded to the scene to assist Deputy Campbell. Prior to our arrival Deputy Campbell was able to get the juvenile breathing again and was able to get a faint palatable pulse. EMS and First Responders arrived on scene and continued to provide emergency care for the juvenile. The juvenile was transported to the Georgia Regents University Medical Center and was listed in critical but stable condition.

Based on my years of service in the military as a combat trained medical specialist, Deputy Campbell's calm reaction and quick action in my estimate was the critical factor in the child's surviving to be transported to a Medical Facility for a higher level of care that the child was desperately in need of. Deputy Campbell's actions are a credit not only to himself, but the Traffic Safety Division and the Sheriff's Office as a whole.
