 December 8th was quite a day for the low-pass family, certainly quite a day for members of the Denver Police Department, and one heck of a day for the community. And I will tell you, it's only the results of a collaborative teamwork that I believe had resulted in Tony Low-Pass juniors like being seen. It started off without dispatchers, and from there it went to Officer Falkins, who was the first officer on the scene, who's a co-worker of Tony Jr., who provided an attorney kit. From there, the officers, Low-Pass Junior, went to one of the best trauma centers in the world, where they received phenomenal help from the medical assistants there. But today is really about these two young people here, Dustin and Courtney. They were the first individuals from EM, from the paramedics to get on the scene. They quickly, and I mean quickly, assess the situation, provided the proper medical care by providing the attorney kits, and facilitated Tony Jr. getting to the hospital in 11 minutes. And considering that that occurred at 37th and federal, to assess that situation, provided the excellent medical assistants that they provided, and facilitated him getting there in 11 minutes, it's just absolutely phenomenal. I have been told by several people, starting with the medical staff, that if it had not been for them, it's a good possibility Tony Low-Pass would not be here today. And it's also a good possibility if it had not been for him getting there in such a timely fashion, Tony Low-Pass Junior probably could have lost his leg. So we're very hopeful, we're very prayerful that Tony's gonna have a full recovery. We're looking forward to Tony wearing that uniform again. As a matter of fact, I should be mentioning that Tony Low-Pass is actually number four on the sergeants list, which is phenomenal, given the number of people who take the sergeants list. I'm really excited for him, hopefully January the 15th. Somehow he's gonna walk across that stage. According to him, he's gonna be in full uniform, he's gonna run across the stage. But we're not gonna hold him to that. But it'll come January the 15th, he is gonna get promoted to the rank of sergeant, but the day is really about destined accordingly. So on behalf of the members of the Denver Police Department, on behalf of the Low-Pass family, on behalf of your coworkers and all the citizens in our city, it's so easy to take things for granted. And sometimes when it comes to the firefighters and it comes to the paramedics, we know you guys are great, we know you do a good job, and we kind of take for granted that you're gonna do what you have to do. But it really hits home when we have to call you. With that, I would like to present you a token of our appreciation. And these are honorary police badges. And I should also say, in relation to these badges, we are hiring by the way also. And two commutatory letters. It just really speaks to, I'll thank you for what you've done. It's an honor. We work with these guys every day. We depend on them for our lives. We could not do our jobs without them. So it's a great honor. And being able to look in his eyes and have a conversation, and it was an experience that I could never, I can never even, I don't know, I can't put it towards, but he's amazing. And it was such an honor to meet him. So we really want to lift him up today and thank him. We have a police foundation that provided turnigates for all 1,500 of our police officers. And we stated that we were not going to give them the turnigates until they received the training. So we can't a systematic one about providing the training. But as a result of this incident and another incident that occurred prior to this, where another one of all officers injured, we have made it a priority. We're not going to systematically go about the training. By the end of the next couple of weeks, every member of our police department needs to be trained on how to use that turnigate. Because that turnigate has saved the lives, pretend to save the lives of two of our police officers over the course of the last couple of months. So the paramedics have provided that training. So it's been absolutely, it's been a life same. And the relationship that we have with them has just been absolutely phenomenal. Because they step up at the plate anytime we call them and tell them that we need something. In addition to being on the scene, but as it relates to training or anything else that is medical related, they've always been the first to raise their hand and say hey, I'm glad to help you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. It's incredible work. Thank you. Good morning, everybody. So I'm not going to talk to you as Commander Tony Lopez. I'm going to talk to you as dad. I've been doing this job going on 33 years. And I've seen him do amazing things. I've seen the paramedics do amazing things into my heart. I knew that if they got him to the hospital, then he was going to be OK. And thank God for all the help. Thank God for all the work done by Dr. Moore and all the other physicians that attended to our son, but especially Dan Falcons and the paramedics. They gave him the chance to get to the hospital so that the medical staff at Denver Health could do their work. So from the Lopez family, we are grateful. We are appreciative. We are just blown away by all the support from the mayor, from Chief White, from Deputy Chief Kinyonas, from all his brothers and sisters in blue, and from you folks in the community. You know, he's tough like his mom. His mom, when mom was actually pregnant with him, she was diagnosed with cancer. And she had to go through a procedure to have a big chunk of her leg shed melanoma. And I think she got, he's got his toughness from mom. He's a lot tougher than dad. And the kid was up walking within eight, nine days of this. And he's a boundary deterrent where that never bad. She loves being a Darren police officer. It's his dream. And he can't wait to go out and serve and protect our community.
