OFFICER OF THE MONTH
July 2009

Private First Class Christopher Hollowell
 
 

It is a privilege to announce Private First Class Christopher Hollowell as “Police Officer of the Month” for July 2009. This honor speaks highly of his character and performance as a member of the North Charleston Police Department.

On June 28, 2009, Pfc. Hollowell responded to a Woodbine Road residence in reference to a female possibly in full arrest. Pfc. Hollowell located the female and being a former intermediate EMT, found a pulse but she was not breathing. Pfc. Hollowell immediately started controlling the airway of the victim until EMS arrived. In addition, Pfc. Hollowell administered bag compressions and O2 until she was breathing on her own. EMS transported the patient to St. Francis Hospital for further treatment.

PFC Hollowell, is commended for his rapid response to the scene and rendering life saving medical care that saved a life. He is truly a credit to law enforcement and the City of North Charleston.

It is indeed a privilege to congratulate him on a job well done!
