On Tuesday, August 9th, 2022, around 3 pm, San Leandro Police officers responded to a medical <br />emergency near Davis Street and Beecher Street. SLPD staff learned that the driver of a vehicle <br />suffered a medical emergency while driving and was incapacitated, causing his vehicle to be <br />uncontrolled as it rolled through the intersection. <br />You, Stephon Jackson, recognized the danger, put the runaway vehicle in park, turned it off, and <br />then comforted an infant found in the back seat, all before emergency medical personnel could <br />arrive. Your swift actions prevented what was a tragic incident already from multiplying. More so, <br />your act of comforting an infant is why the City of San Leandro is also known as the city where <br />kindness matters. <br />This commendation is our gratitude for your bravery, empathy, and sense of community and family. <br />Stephon Jackson <br />is hereby awarded this <br />COMMENDATION <br />on this Eleventh day of August 2022 <br />and is entitled to the confidence and trust of the members of <br />the Police Department and the Citizens of San Leandro. <br />Abdul D. Pridgen, Chief of Police <br />SAN LEANDRO POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> CHIEF'S COMMENDATION
