The Life Saving Award shall be awarded to any member of the Wichita Police Department or Reserve officer who is directly responsible for saving of a human life.  Documentation and supporting evidence must be included to substantiate the award, such as statements from witnesses, physicians, or supervisors.  This award may also be made where evidence suggests that actions by the officer(s) prolonged a human life to the extent that the victim was released to the care of medical authorities, even though the victim might expire at a later time.  The Life Saving Award may be awarded in addition to a higher medal where the facts show the recipient is entitled to such an award.
