Genesee County Sheriff’s Investigator Christopher A. Parker was honored by Crime Stoppers Buffalo at its Annual Law Enforcement Recognition Reception held last night at Giancarlo\u2019s Sicilian Steakhouse in Williamsville.<\/p>\n
Undersheriff\u00a0 Greg Walker nominated Investigator Parker for this award based on his consistency as an officer who exemplifies professionalism, dependability, cooperation, fairness, integrity, loyalty and, more specifically, for his highly meritorious act on September 13, 2016.<\/p>\n
Then Deputy Parker, was first on scene for a six-apartment building fire in the Town of Pavilion.\u00a0 Without regard for his own safety and without any protective breathing apparatus or gear, he entered the first apartment to begin checking for residents and discovered an elderly man who was completely asleep as smoke crept into his bedroom.\u00a0 After assisting the man out of the building, Deputy Parker continued to check the other apartments until firefighters arrived.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigator Parker\u2019s quick, fearless actions on that day most likely saved the elderly man\u2019s life.\u00a0 He is most deserving of this recognition,\u201d said Undersheriff Walker.<\/p>\n
