Trooper Jacob Fisher has been with NHP for 5 years and has been awarded 3 Life Saving Medals.
Two of those medals were received from 2 separate incidents where he applied a tourniquet to control bleeding to victims who were seriously injured in crashes.
One of the medals was awarded for his actions on October 1.
NHP says, he was one of the first Troopers on scene for the October 1 shooting. He was embedded in a fire team that helped clear out numerous strip hotels and casinos the night of October 1.
Fisher is Army veteran who is trained in combat medicine and is our lead trainer for training Troopers on basic medical care and life saving skills.
