Medal of Valor Awards

Crusade Against Crime 43rd Anniversary November 6, 2012

Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark

The Medal of Valor represents the highest award our community can bestow upon the men and women who protect us and our property through the conscientious enforcement of our laws. And although this coveted award is presented to those few individuals who have distinguished them-selves through meritorious service, it is, in a sense, a sincere tribute to all police officers.

Sponsored by the Crusade Against Crime of America and the St. Louis Area Police Chiefs’ Association, the Medal of Valor is presented in recognition of a conspicuous act of bravery exceed-ing the normal demands of police service. It expresses the community’s gratitude for the sound judgment demonstrated by the officer in the performance of his or her duty, often without regard for personal safety, yet with full awareness of the reasonable attainment of his or her objective. The award guidelines were broadened in 1974 to provide for the recognition of citizen involve-ment in performing a heroic act out of concern for the safety and welfare of a police officer or in the prevention of a crime.

Since its inception in 1969, the Medal of Valor has been presented to over 400 police officers and local citizens, including several individuals who have each received the Medal twice for heroic deeds. The recipients are selected each year from nominations submitted to the Medal of Valor Judges Committee by more than 140 Police Departments in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The guidelines governing the qualifications for nominations were established by a panel of high-rank-ing police officers. All nominees must be approved by their respective chiefs.

While the Medal of Valor provides a unique opportunity for honoring the heroism of individual police officers and citizens, it also offers the means through which everyone can express their sup-port of all law enforcement officers.

suspect began to choke Officer Kenyon while punching him on the side of the head. Realizing he was losing consciousness, Officer Kenyon took decisive action; he removed his pistol and shot, striking the suspect. The round caused the suspect to stop the assault and back off of Officer Kenyon.

Officer Kenyon repositioned himself and attempted to gain his balance, but the suspect charged at him again. Officer Kenyon, still recovering, fired again, striking the suspect and ending the assault.

Officer Kenyon displayed tremendous courage and never gave up; continuing to fight in the defense of his and the female victim’s life is clearly deserving of the Medal of Valor.

Officer Thomas KenyonO’Fallon Police Department

On April 18, 2012 the O’Fallon Police Department received a 911 call in reference to a subject causing a disturbance while under the influence of LSD.

Officer Kenyon quickly arrived and observed a subject hang-ing halfway inside the driver’s side window of a van beating a female. Officer Kenyon got the suspect to focus his sole attention on him and remove himself from the vehicle. After a brief verbal exchange, the suspect charged Officer Kenyon, who discharged his Taser. But due to a faulty probe strike it had no effect.

The suspect began to viciously assault Officer Kenyon, strik-ing him on the face and head, as well as biting his face. During the fight the suspect made several attempts to gain control of the officer’s pistol. After several unsuccessful attempts to dis-arm the officer during this violent hand-to-hand combat, the

the vehicle. While in pursuit, the front seat passenger, later identified as the wanted robbery suspect, forced his way into the driver’s seat, opened the driver’s door and forced the driver out of the moving vehicle causing him to tumble onto the pavement. Now operating the vehi-cle, the suspect continued to flee until losing control and crashing.

The suspect got out of the vehicle and continued his flight on foot. Officer Boyd and Spradling stopped their vehicles and continued their pursuit on foot as well. Suddenly the suspect turned and fired gun shots at the officers. Responding quickly, Officer Boyd returned fire forcing the suspect to flee again. The officers pursued the suspect to a near-by apartment building, where the suspect forced his way into an apartment and barricaded himself.

Officer Boyd, Officer Spradling and responding officers surrounded the building, and with the assistance of the Saint Louis County SWAT team, were able to negotiate a peaceful surrender.

Officer Eddie Boyd’s and Officer Barb Spradling’s actions are characteristic of the highest traditions of valor found in police work and deserving of the Medal of Valor.

On June 2, 2012, Officer Michael Hitchcock and Nathan Jaeger received a call for a house fire. Officer Hitchcock was the first to arrive and observed a large amount of smoke surrounding the resi-dence. Officer Hitchcock, assist-ed by Officer Jaeger, made contact with the male homeowner, who advised his wife was still in the residence in the top floor bedroom.

Officer Hitchcock and Jaeger attempted entry into the home, but were unable to breath and forced

out by the heavy smoke. With no breathing apparatus, their unwavering determination to gain access to the victim

directed them to an alternative entry method. The officers found a neighbor attempting to break a bedroom window to assist in rescuing the victim.

Utilizing ladders found outside the residence, the officers climbed up to the bedroom win-dow and broke out the glass. Officer Jaeger located the unresponsive victim lying on a bed just inside the window. Officer Hitchcock, assisted by Officer Jaeger, pulled the victim through the window and lowered her to fire personnel below.

Both officers sustained smoke inhalation and were treated at a local hospital. The heroic efforts of Officer Hitchcock and Jaeger, in spite of imminent personal danger,

showed the compassion and unparalleled dedication of the oath they took to protect the com-munity and is deserving of the Medal of Valor.

Detective Michael CavanaughSt. Louis County Police Department

On May 30th, Detective Michael Moore Sr. and Officer Rajah Johnson received a call for a fire at an apartment complex. When the officers arrived they observed large plumes of smoke venting from the building and towering into the sky. Also responding to assist were Officer David Porter, Detective Michael Cavanaugh, Sergeant John Edgecombe and Sergeant Michael Stoehner.

Instead of merely charging in, Sergeants Stoehner and Edgecombe organized the officers into two teams, each taking a floor to evacuate the building. The officers entered without hesitation despite the overwhelming smoke, intense fire, heat and low visibility.

Making their way from door to door, the officers assisted residents, some who were elderly and/or disabled, from their homes to safety outside of the complex. The officers communicated their progress with each other, while Detective Moore and Officer Johnson wrote down the apartment numbers that were evacuated and those that they were unable to gain entry. They relayed this infor-mation to the fire department.

The officers were inundated by smoke during the rescues, but persisted by making it to as many doors as possible with each deep breath they took. The great risk taken by the officers resulted in the building being cleared of residents. It wasn’t until the building was evacuated that the officers left the building for safety, each having been overcome by smoke inhalation.

Because of their quick response, organized approach and courage, no residents were seriously injured. Their actions are characteristic of the highest traditions of valor found in police work and is deserving of the Medal of Valor.

The man began to threaten the officers and immediately turned towards the couch, reached between two cushions and removed a revolver. The gunman then pointed the revolver at the officers.

At the same time Officers Ambrose and Appelbaum drew their pistol and while taking cover commanded the gunman to drop his weapon, but he refused and instead fired gun shots at the officers. The officers had quickly darted down a short hallway and took cover around a corner. Having made the corner first, Officer Appelbaum moved himself back allowing Officer Ambrose cover in the narrow space. Officer Appelbaum, who was now positioned behind Officer Ambrose, was unable to safely engage the gunman without having to shoot over his partner. Knowing his responsibility, Officer Ambrose did not hesitate and posted himself on the corner and exchanged fire with the gunman down the hallway.

During the exchange of fire Officer Ambrose’s was struck in the left arm, but continued to fire at the gunman striking him and ending the threat.
