 Well, good afternoon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Joe Montoya. I'm the commander of district three which Covers this area today. BJ P. Blair will be receiving the commandatory letter from the Denver Police Department That's the highest honor bestowed from the police department to a civilian. I'd like to ask BJ and I Was not expecting this at all. This is how it reads the death of a child can have a long term devastating effect on a community Over the past three years Betty P. Blair a teacher at the Denver Academy has taken extraordinary Actions to prevent tragedies to three young students. The first experience was in the lunch room And I started to hear a little bit of a commotion at a table and I looked over and that's when I noticed one of the Students was kind of grabbing at his throat. You know, yes, are you choking and you know, he gave me the look Like yes, I am he didn't know what to do at that point I turned him around and gave him the him look right there and then and out came the meatball and you know I think in the moment every time it's happened It's like another part of you just takes over like it's not something you're thinking through It's I need to do this and I need to do this now the Denver Police Department would like to extend their thanks to Betty Peebler for her actions and this is signed by Robert C. White chief of Denver Police Department It's quite extraordinary that she was able to do this on three separate occasions And maybe she's just a guardian angel for these children to be the one that's there and I know to be able to do this I think the biggest reward is probably the three kids that I Know are gonna be just fine and what could have happened to them
