At today’s Sanford Airport Authority Board Meeting, Officer Christopher Jaques was officially presented with the Chief's Commendation Award for his remarkable life-saving actions.

In the early morning hours of July 25, while commuting to work, Officer Jaques spotted an unsupervised, unclothed toddler wandering on a dark, heavily trafficked roadway. Recognizing the immediate danger to the child's life, he acted swiftly to secure her safety until local law enforcement arrived on the scene.

Thanks to Officer Jaques' alertness, quick thinking, and unwavering commitment to public safety, a tragedy was prevented. This heroic act truly exemplifies the highest standards of compassion, professionalism, and service.

Please join us in thanking and congratulating Officer Jaques!
