This makes a parent proud in a way that’s hard to put into words. The compassion, courage, and calm Sam showed in that moment says so much about the kind of man and deputy he is. He didn’t just do a job, he saved a life and showed someone that their life mattered. I’m so thankful for him ❤️ Well done Deputy Ronk! 👮🏻♂️🚔👏
Last year, newly graduated deputies Ronk and Webb were dispatched to a bridge near a hospital in Lewis Center after a young woman called the su***de hotline and said she wanted to end her life. Facing overwhelming medical challenges, she was in a state of panic and distress when deputies arrived.
Deputies Ronk (pictured here) and Webb acted quickly, pulling her to safety and consoling her. Through their compassion and urgency, they ensured she received the help she needed. Their actions saved her life, showing the importance of empathy and swift response in times of crisis.
