Frederick County, MD – In a commendable display of quick thinking and teamwork, two deputies from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) were honored this week with the EMS Excellence Award by Frederick County Fire & Rescue. The recognition stems from their lifesaving actions during a critical cardiac arrest response in November 2025.
Upon arriving at the scene, Sgt. Smith and Deputy Reynolds immediately initiated CPR, demonstrating their commitment to preserving life even before Fire and Rescue personnel could arrive. Their prompt response set the stage for a coordinated effort that included advanced resuscitation techniques and comprehensive post-resuscitation care, facilitated in collaboration with an Emergency Communications Specialist. This seamless integration of services highlights the vital role that teamwork plays in emergency medical situations.
Thanks to the deputies’ swift actions and professionalism, the patient not only survived but was also discharged home in neurologically intact condition. This outcome underscores the importance of training and preparedness among first responders in Frederick County, where public safety remains a top priority.
As the community celebrates the achievements of Sgt. Smith and Deputy Reynolds, it serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill of those who serve in law enforcement and emergency services. Congratulations to all recipients of the EMS Excellence Award for their well-deserved recognition and for their unwavering commitment to the health and safety of Frederick County residents.
