Through April 15, the Iowa Department of Public Safety is accepting nominations for the Governor’s Lifesaving Awards. These special recognition awards are presented to ordinary citizens who take extraordinary lifesaving measures to save a fellow citizen.
To qualify, the incident must have occurred in Iowa between January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015. The nominee should not be professionally trained in lifesaving techniques. The Governor’s Lifesaving Awards are presented each year at the Iowa State Fair.
If you know a local hero whose actions deserve recognition from the Governor and the state’s top law enforcement officials, nominate them at www.dps.state.ia.us/commis/pib/Releases/2015/3-31-2015_DPS_GLSANominationDeadlineApproaching’.html.
