[Police Department Officer Recognition Program]
SEEING NO ONE REGISTERED WILL MOVE ON. THE FIRST ITEM WILL BE 260083. POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICER RECOGNITION PROGRAM CHIEF ELLENBERG. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.I'M BACK. THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO ALLOW ME THIS OPPORTUNITY. AND I DO HAVE TO SAY ONE OF THE MOST. ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THIS JOB IS GETTING TO BRAG ON THE STORIES THAT I GET TO WITNESS FIRSTHAND INSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO TODAY, WE'RE HERE TO HONOR TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS, AND I WILL TELL YOU THE STORIES. AND THEN AT THE END, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME DOWN AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH THEM. FIRST, I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SERGEANT KYLE WILKERSON. OFFICER MUELLER, OFFICER COLLARD, OFFICER JAMES PRIGMORE, AND OFFICER STUBBY. I BELIEVE THEY COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY BECAUSE OF TRAINING, BUT ON DECEMBER 16TH OF LAST YEAR, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 A.M. OFFICERS WERE FLAGGED DOWN BY TWO INDIVIDUALS IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING PARKING LOT. THESE INDIVIDUALS HAD JUST REPORTED LEAVING A RESIDENCE WHERE THEY OBSERVED A FEMALE HAVING FACIAL INJURIES, AND WHEN THEY ASKED HER ABOUT IT, THE BOYFRIEND BECAME IRATE AND FORCED THEM TO LEAVE THE RESIDENCE. CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE ABILITY OF A CONTINUAL FAMILY VIOLENCE OR ONGOING FAMILY VIOLENCE, OFFICERS IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE. UPON ARRIVAL, OFFICERS OBSERVED THROUGH A WINDOW A FEMALE LYING ON THE FLOOR AND A SUSPECT STANDING OVER HER, HOLDING A PISTOL ABOVE HIS HEAD. BELIEVING A HOSTAGE SITUATION WAS UNFOLDING, OFFICERS QUICKLY SECURED THE AREA, CALLED FOR BACKUP AS THEY BEGAN TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO FORCE ENTRY. BEFORE BACKUP ARRIVED, OFFICERS HEARD THE VICTIM SCREAMING INSIDE AND GIVEN THE EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THEY MADE THE DECISION TO FORCE ENTRY AND CONDUCT A RAPID RESCUE. THE VICTIM, VISIBLY TERRIFIED, WAS LOCATED IN THE LIVING ROOM AND ESCORTED OUTSIDE TO SAFETY. THE SUSPECT EXITED A INTERIOR BEDROOM UNARMED THIS TIME AND WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE VICTIM SUSTAINED MULTIPLE FACIAL AND BODILY INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO MCM FOR TREATMENT, WHILE THE SUSPECT WAS LATER TRANSPORTED TO KCSO, WHERE HE WAS BOOKED IN FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON AND AGGRAVATED KIDNAPING. THE OUTCOME REFLECTS THE HEART OF OUR MISSION PROTECTING LIFE THROUGH COURAGE, COMPASSION AND DECISIVE ACTION.
THESE OFFICERS DEMONSTRATED EXTRAORDINARY TEAMWORK AND SELFLESSNESS, PLACING THE WELL-BEING OF ANOTHER ABOVE THEIR OWN. THEIR ACTIONS REMIND US THAT THIS SERVICE IS NOT JUST A DUTY, BUT IT'S A CALLING THAT THEY LIVE OUT EVERY DAY. AND THEY MADE MCKINNEY NOT JUST SAFER, BUT. A PLACE TO BE ADMIRED AND COMMENDED. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. NEXT, I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU THE STORY OF COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST ANNA NICOLE WILLIAMS. IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13TH, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 A.M. A 911 CALL WAS RECEIVED SHORTLY AFTER ANNA NICOLE WILLIAMS ARRIVED FOR HER SHIFT. THE CALLER WAS REPORTING THAT HIS WIFE WAS GOING INTO IMMEDIATE LABOR. WHAT PRESENTED AS A ROUTINE PREGNANCY RELATED CALL, NONE OF WHICH I WOULD FIND ROUTINE, QUICKLY ESCALATED INTO A CRITICAL AND HIGH STRESS MEDICAL EMERGENCY, AND NICOLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN UTILIZING STANDARD PROTOCOLS TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE CALL. THROUGHOUT THE NEARLY TEN MINUTE CALL, SHE REMAINED CALM, FOCUSED, AND PROFESSIONAL WHILE GUIDING THE FATHER THROUGH SEVERAL EXTREMELY STRESSFUL AND UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS, INCLUDING THE NEWBORN CHOKING AND THE UMBILICAL CORD TEARING.
ONCE THE BABY WAS CONFIRMED OUT, ANNA NICOLE BEGAN TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CLEAN THE BABY'S NOSE AND MOUTH AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO KEEP THE BABY WARM BY WRAPPING THE NEWBORN IN A TOWEL. THIS IS WHEN THE BABY'S CRIES WERE FIRST HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVENTUALLY ARRIVED ON SCENE AND ASSUMED THE CARE OF THE INFANT. ANNA NICOLE DEMONSTRATED EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE, PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION
[00:05:01]
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INCIDENT. SHE CONSISTENTLY SUPPORTED, COACHED AND ENCOURAGED THE CALLER, HELPING HIM TO REMAIN COMPOSED AND CONFIDENT DURING ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENTS OF HIS FAMILY'S LIFE, ANNA NICOLE'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CALL WHILE PROVIDING CLEAR, REASSURING GUIDANCE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME. THE FAMILY WILL FOREVER HAVE A REMARKABLE AND POSITIVE CHRISTMAS STORY TO SHARE, AND HER ACTIONS EXEMPLIFY THE HIGH STANDARDS OF OUR PROFESSION AND REFLECT CREDIT UPON HERSELF AND OUR DEPARTMENT.
