In a recent display of meritorious service, St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office acknowledged the exceptional work of several of their own. A Facebook post by the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office highlights the recognition of these officers and specialists whose swift actions have saved lives and exemplified dedication.
Last autumn, Rae’lyn DeSoto, a communications specialist, calmly guided a 911 caller through CPR procedures during a medical crisis in St. Rose. Her ability to maintain composure and provide instructions was a vital cog in the emergency response machine that day, meanwhile, Tiffini Blanchard, another communications specialist, immediately dispatched the necessary emergency services. For their parts in the life-saving effort, Deputy Victor Campuzano, who administered CPR before EMS took over, and Rae'lyn DeSoto received Distinguished Service Awards, as reported by the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office.
Additional commendations were awarded to three other Communications Specialists: Tiffini Blanchard, Heather James, and McKeilla Theriot – all played critical roles in steering the emergency response personnel swiftly to the scene. Their Letters of Commendation recognize the importance of precise coordination in moments when every second counts, as per the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office. Deputy Ruche Marino's long-standing commitment was also celebrated as he received his 30-year service pin, underscoring a career devoted, to public service.
