Corporal Dale Roberts

On June 9, 2015, Sergeant McCormick, conducted a traffic stop at the Shell Gas Station at 3105 Deans Bridge Road.  Corporal Dale Roberts came to assistance of Sergeant McCormick during the stop. The driver of the vehicle, Ms. Latoya Burns pulled up to the gas station and got out of her car yelling that her baby, Jayceon Burns, one year of age, was not breathing. Corporal Roberts did not hesitate as he rushed to the car and began performing CPR on the one-year old. He continued performing CPR until the baby regained consciousness and medical help arrived. Due to the quick response of Cpl. Roberts and his professional training, he was able to revive the child within a time frame that did not cause further injury or harm to the child.

Saving the life of a child is one of the greatest acts that an officer can perform. Corporal Dale Roberts' actions reflect great credit upon himself, his fellow officers and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
