On Wednesday, Logan County Sheriff Mark Landers handed out State of Illinois Life Saving Awards to the deputies and dispatchers who were directly responsible for saving the life of Logan County resident Jane Carroll.

Working as a team, the members of the Logan County Sheriff's Office were able to begin life saving measures from the time the call came into Logan Dispatch. Deputies responded to the call as they were closer than the paramedics responding and were able to successfully save a life through their CPR training.

“A great debt is owed to the men and women who serve so selflessly for the sake of others,” said Landers.

Via social media, Jane Carroll also commented, “Words can't convey how grateful I am for these wonderful people. My husband, daughter, the dispatchers and the first responders. Had they all not responded as they did, I would not be alive today. The best I can do is thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Carroll was on hand for the ceremony along with her husband Dennis and daughter.
