LPD Officer receives "Top Cop" award for saving life of a child.
Officer Eric Mericle was given a "Top Cop" award by 6th Ward City Councilman Derry Glenn at his annual Martin Luther King Jr. Dinner on Sunday.
The award was given in recognition for Mericle's actions on July 8th 2013. Mericle was on patrol when he was approached by a woman who frantically told him her neighbor's child was not breathing. The child had been found unresponsive in a bathtub. Mericle performed CPR and effectively saved the life of the child.
Officer Mericle is assigned to First Shift Patrol.
