Becker County Sheriff Todd Glander recently announced the Lifesaving Award, one of the most prestigious awards given to officers, that was bestowed upon Becker County Jail staff members: Sergeant Clayson and Officers Guggenberger, Hoard, Karst, Koppelman, and Stenger, who assisted medical responders in resuscitating an individual at the jail, saving the victim’s life.

In May 2023, Becker County Jail staff responded to a man down incident. Sergeant Clayson and Officers Guggenberger, Hoard, Karst, Koppelman, and Stenger assisted medical responders in resuscitating the individual. These individuals saved the victim’s life.

Sheriff Glander’s targeted training on responding to a medical emergency within the jail is the foundation for the heroic actions of these individuals. Sergeant Clayson and Officers Guggenberger, Hoard, Karst, Koppelman, and Stenger performed an exceptional act under emergency conditions, and the action rendered directly resulted in sustaining a human life.

Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. presented Sergeant Clayson and Officers Guggenberger, Hoard, Karst, Koppelman, and Stenger its Lifesaving Award for successfully preventing an individual from dying.

The Lifesaving Award is one of the most prestigious awards that is given to officers. The Becker County Jail staff received the award during a presentation in 2023.
