Detective Jacob Shroyer and Officer Richard DuChaine saved a woman’s life!

A man was driving his wife near 63rd Street and 71 Highway when he noticed she stopped breathing. Shroyer was heading home after a long day, but had his police radio on, heard dispatch and rushed to the couple. DuChaine, meanwhile, responded to the call, arriving just after Shroyer.
Shroyer leaned into the vehicle, pulling the woman out. DuChaine, sprinting to her, began chest compressions. Together, the officers performed CPR until EMS arrived with oxygen.
A few days later, DuChaine visited the woman to check on her, and as you can imagine, she was happy to see him.
Shroyer later received a text from the husband thanking the officers for saving his wife’s life: “I’m sure that if you had not acted as quickly as you did, she would not be with us.”
Magnificent job and tremendous service, officers!
If DuChaine looks familiar, he was one of the officers who saved the life of a non-breathing 1-month-old baby in 2022, which was recorded on bodycam video.
