Corporal Andrew Long
Sonora, CA Tuolumne County Sheriff Bill Pooley awarded his office’s Life-Saving Medal to his Corporal Andrew Long and Calaveras County Deputy Jason Markovitz.
They helped rescue a man who was suicidal on the Parrotts Ferry bridge back on Monday, February 8. The special recognition was given because the heroic actions directly helped save a life.
It was presented at today’s Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors meeting. Deputy Markovitz could not be in attendance because he was called to a court case, so Calaveras Sheriff Rick Dibasilio accepted it on his behalf.
Sheriff Dibasilio stated the two counties work incredibly well together and are staffed with wonderful men and women.
