DUBOIS – Three officers were recognized Monday night at Sandy Township’s supervisors meeting for their recent efforts to help save the lives of two people.
Officers Erik Rupp, Pete Largey and Thomas Gornati Jr. received certificates for their service in stopping a son from allegedly killing both his parents in a domestic assault last month. The three officers were joined by fellow members of the Sandy Township Police Department, and received a standing applause by officials and citizens present for the meeting.
“As a supervisor I know you take a lot of trouble in what you do,” said Supervisor Dave Slyvis, who explained how those in the public eye often only get noticed for negative actions. “But we appreciate what you do.”
“It shows the caliber of people we have working for us,” said Supervisor Jim Jeffers.
