Lake Dallas has a new hero in uniform to celebrate. Officer Blake Waters has been named the January First Responder of the Month. This honor comes just over two years into his tenure with the Lake Dallas Police Department. According to a recent social media post from the Lake Dallas Police Department, recognized by Chris Graham of WrapMasters Home Service Fleet Wraps, Officer Waters stands out for his exemplary service and positive community impact.

Officer Waters isn't just an employee; he's a fixture in the community. He's described as someone with "a positive attitude and is the first to volunteer when help is needed, often sacrificing time with his family to serve others." His police work is commended for being thorough, with crystal-clear reports, and demonstrating a sincere spirit of cooperation. A specific example of his commitment came to light when Waters responded to a life-or-death situation. The officer found a citizen performing CPR on a person without a pulse, as detailed in an announcement by the Lake Dallas Police Department.

Showing composure in the face of such considerable stress, Officer Waters took control of the dire situation and repositioned the subject, improving the chances of the life-saving measures. He continued administering CPR until the Lake Cities Fire Department arrived to take over.
