Media Alert: Subsentio® Honors Law Enforcement at "Citizens Appreciate State Troopers" Awards Event
On Friday, July 27 at 11:00am MTN (News - Alert) time, Centennial-based Subsentio, the
CALEA Compliance Company®, salutes members of the Colorado State
Patrol selected to receive the "Citizens Appreciate State Troopers" or
"C.A.S.T." Award.
"Colorado State Troopers are renowned for their courage, quick thinking
and action in situations where lives are at stake," said Subsentio CEO
and Founder Steve Bock. "It is an honor to recognize their valor and pay
tribute to this year's winners of the C.A.S.T. Award."
Bock will join hosts Chief Matt Packard, Deputy Chief Mark Savage (News - Alert) and
members of the C.A.S.T. Board of Directors at the Colorado Governor's
mansion in presenting awards to the following six members of the
Colorado State Patrol:
-
Sergeant Matthew Beaudin and Trooper Wesley Kartus. While
investigating the theft of an automobile in a residential
neighborhood, Troopers Beaudin and Kartus, together with detectives
from two other law enforcement agencies, cornered the thief and
ordered him to the ground. The suspect wheeled, pulled a 9mm pistol
and began firing. Troopers Beaudin and Kartus quickly drew their
weapons and returned fire, preventing potential lethal harm to area
residents. For their heroic actions, Troopers Beaudin and Kardus were
awarded the Medal of Valor.
-
Trooper John Stark. Responding to a report of a drunken driver,
Officer Stark pulled the man over, and immediately found himself
face-to-face with the driver's handgun. Stark quickly stepped back,
drew his own weapon and fired, hitting the man twice. The driver then
jumped into his truck and fled - so fast that helost control, struck
the raised median strip, and flew to the opposite side of the highway.
As Officer Stark approached the drunken driver once again, the man
this time threw his vehicle into reverse to run him over. Shotgun in
hand, Stark fired and brought the man's life-threatening behavior - a
menace to all on the road - to an end. For his courage and cool-headed
action under mortal threat, Officer Stark was awarded the Medal of
Valor.
-
Trooper Charles Jones. When a suspect in two recent Arizona
murders crossed his path, Trooper Jones recognized the vehicle and
took up the pursuit. At the sight of flashing police lights, the
suspect hit the accelerator and crossed over the median strip straight
into oncoming traffic. Jones executed a tactical vehicle intervention
(TVI) maneuver to stop and cuff him. Interrogation revealed that the
man had been en route to kill his ex-girlfriend when apprehended.
Ballistics tests of a weapon found in his car proved he was indeed the
Arizona murderer. For bringing this extremely dangerous felon into
custody, Trooper Jones was honored with the Distinguished Service Award
-
Troopers Kristopher Kuba and Jordan Tinajera. First came the
crash, then the real-life bumper-car ride of a vehicle rolling
end-over-end into rushing water. Next thing he knew, the senior
citizen involved in this accident found himself floating downstream.
First on the scene at Clear Creek that frigid day in November 2017 was
Trooper Tinajera, who quickly tied two rescue ropes to the guardrail
and moved down the icy bank. Trooper Kuba arrived next, and with the
help of a passerby they lifted the elderly driver out of the water so
emergency crews could winch him up the bank to a waiting ambulance.
With a core body temperature of just 78 degrees, the oldster was not
expected to live. But when Trooper Tinajera followed up at the local
hospital the next day, he was amazed to find the man sitting up in his
ICU bed and talking. For their life- saving actions, Troopers Tinajera
and Kuba received the Life Saving Award.
