North Escambia Deputy Rudy Brown Receives Life Saving Medal

April 29, 2011

An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy that works the streets of North Escambia was honored Thursday for with a Life Saving Medal.

On September 26 of last year, Senior Deputy Rudy Brown responded to a restaurant on North Century Boulevard to assist EMS in reference to a man down in the parking lot. Upon arrival, Brown observed a man lying on the ground.

The Molino man was not breathing and unresponsive. Brown reacted immediately, grabbing an AED — automated external defibrillator — from his vehicle. Once the AED’s leads were applied, it advised that no shock was needed and that CPR should be performed. Brown continued CPR until EMS arrived on the scene and took over.

The man was was transported to Jay Hospital where his condition improved and he was able to breath on his own.

Brown, who is assigned to the Century Precinct that serves the county north of Molino, also received a certificate of special Congressional recognition from Congressman Jeff Miller.

    I agree totally with ART and JOE. Everyone who sees this officer should
    walk up and shake his hand. SOME of these guys should be recognized

    Another one of “the good ones”
    I like to hear about stories like this as they make me feel good to know there are still good deputies out there, that really do serve and protect!
    Good Job Deputy Brown, you did a good thing!

    There’s a popular belief that generally speaking, when you meet a police officer in the line of duty, it might not be a very good day for you. This was not the case when I met Officer Rudy Brown. Though not a good day for me at all, he performed his duties with both fairness and grace and his actions and demeanor certainly made the situation more tolerable than it might have been. Thank you, Deputy Brown, and congratulations on this commendation.
