Village Officers Foil

Attempted Suicide

Bleeding Victim Transported

In Cruiser To Bassett Hospital

COOPERSTOWN – Worried an ambulance might not arrive in time, Village Police officers last week transported an attempted suicide victim to Bassett Hospital in their police cruiser, gaining the praise of Chief Frank Cavalieri.

"The quick thinking and effort shown to preserve the subject's life displayed by these officers were vital to saving the victim's life," said Cavalieri.  "This effort, I believe, demonstrates the dedication, integrity and concern that the men and women of law enforcement in Otego County have for the community."
