In December 2021, Officer Kuchta responded within two minutes to an emergency medical call and found Tim Postufka, a 20-year township resident, in cardiac arrest.
Officer Kuchta, who is a certified Emergency Medical Technician, used an automated external defibrillator (AED) and performed CPR until the ambulance arrived from SouthBridge EMS.
"He jumped right in and performed the life-saving actions that allow me to be here today," Mr. Postufka said. "He's a true hero."
