Corrective Services NSW awarded Newcastle Court Escort Security Unit officers Todd Burgoyne and former Justice Health nurse Sue Henderson the Assistant Commissioner's Commendation for supporting a colleague who went into cardiac arrest.
At a ceremony in Sydney on Friday, Northern Transport Unit officers Aaron Golledge and Robert Henry from Cessnock were also presented Assistant Commissioner's Commendations for being the first responders to a colleague having a medical emergency. Officers Darren Ross, Tahlea Nicolas and Mal Hannaford also received awards for their role in the two medical responses.
CSNSW Assistant Commissioner of Security and Intelligence, Sue Wilson, applauded their efforts.
"The two groups from Newcastle and Cessnock jumped into action when it was clear that emergency assistance was needed, with their quick thinking saving two lives," she said.
