A Lifesaving Response and a Heartwarming Reunion

On Saturday, September 5, Officer Merlo and Officer Humphrey were on patrol when they were dispatched to a medical emergency at Cottonwood Park.

An 11-year-old boy had collapsed while playing soccer. When the officers arrived, they found him unconscious and not breathing. They immediately began CPR and applied an automated external defibrillator (AED). The officers delivered a shock, ultimately saving the young boy’s life.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

On Tuesday, Officer Merlo and Officer Humphrey visited the young man in the hospital, and we are happy to share that he is doing well! The officers brought him some Louisville Police Department swag and a couple of toys to help pass the time during his recovery.

We are incredibly proud of these officers for their quick thinking, training, and decisive actions when every second mattered. We are even happier that they had the opportunity to visit this brave young boy and support him on the road to recovery.

Please join us in recognizing Officer Merlo and Officer Humphrey for their lifesaving efforts and in sending continued well wishes to the young boy and his family.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we pause to remember the 2,566 civilians, 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and eight paramedics and EMTs who lost their lives in the attacks.

The flags placed on the lawn of the Louisville Police Department stand in their memory and in recognition of the extraordinary heroism of the first responders who answered the call. We also honor those who later died from illnesses connected to their service at Ground Zero.

Twenty-five years later, we remain united in remembrance, gratitude and resolve.

We will never forget.

September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day, a time to raise awareness, recognize warning signs, and remind everyone that help is available.

In 2023, 49,316 people died by su***de in the United States, a rate of 14.1 deaths per 100,000 people. Su***de was the nation’s 11th-leading cause of death and the second-leading cause among the 10–14, 15–24, and 25–44 age groups.

Warning signs may include:
🔹Talking about wanting to die, feeling hopeless or being a burden
🔹Withdrawing from others, saying goodbye or giving away possessions
🔹Making a plan or researching ways to die
🔹Extreme mood changes, increased substance use or reckless behavior
🔹Significant changes in sleeping or eating

If you are concerned about someone:
🔹Ask directly, “Are you thinking about su***de?” Asking does not increase suicidal thoughts.
🔹Listen calmly and without judgment.
🔹Take threats or plans seriously—do not promise to keep them secret.
🔹Help reduce access to fi****ms, medications or other lethal means.
🔹Connect the person with professional help and continue checking in.

E-Motos Are Not E-Bikes

The Louisville Police Department is addressing the illegal use of high-powered electric motorcycles, often called e-motos, because these vehicles pose a serious risk to riders, pedestrians, and motorists.

In the past week, Louisville Police officers have impounded several illegal e-motos being operated by underage riders. These vehicles were designed for off-road use and are not legal for operation on public streets, sidewalks or paths. The parents of these riders were issued summonses for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.

This is not simply an issue of young people riding bicycles. The consequences can be devastating.

Recent incidents across the country include:
• A 13-year-old rider who died after crashing a non-street-legal e-motorcycle while traveling approximately 35 mph.
• A 12-year-old rider who suffered a skull fracture, intracranial bleeding, a fractured femur, and other injuries while riding an illegally modified e-moto capable of approximately 60 mph.
• An 81-year-old pedestrian who died after being struck by a 14-year-old riding a wheely on an illegal e-motorcycle.

Many e-motos:
• Exceed Colorado’s 750-watt limit for an electrically assisted bicycle
• Can travel 35 to 60 mph
• Lack fully operable pedals
• Are designed and sold for off-road use
• Require licensing, registration, insurance and appropriate safety equipment before they may qualify for lawful street operation

Nationally, the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that emergency departments treated approximately 59,200 e-bike-related injuries in 2024. Children’s Hospital Colorado reported a 184% increase in traumatic e-bike injuries between 2024 and 2025. Nearly half of its serious pediatric e-bike and e-scooter cases involved head, neck, or facial trauma.

Parents and guardians are responsible for understanding what they purchase and where it can legally be operated. A vehicle advertised online as an “e-bike” may legally be an electric motorcycle or off-highway vehicle.

Before allowing a child to ride, check the vehicle’s motor wattage, maximum speed, pedals, classification label, and intended use. If it is designed for off-road use, it does not belong on Louisville’s public streets, sidewalks, or recreational paths.

The Louisville Police Department’s goal is to prevent a tragedy before it happens. Officers will continue enforcing applicable laws, impounding illegal vehicles, and holding responsible parties accountable.

Today is International Literacy Day, a time to recognize how reading and writing create opportunity and strengthen communities.

Literacy also supports public safety. Research reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice found that correctional adult education programs focused on foundational skills such as reading and writing were associated with 33% lower odds of recidivism.

The Louisville Police Department is proud to partner with the Louisville Public Library for Police Officer Story Time several times throughout the year. These events encourage a love of reading while giving children and families an opportunity to connect with officers in a welcoming environment.

A simple conversation led to a special act of kindness.

While patrolling a neighborhood, Officer Herrera stopped to speak with a resident. During their conversation, Officer Herrera mentioned that his daughter follows a gluten-free diet.

Later that week, Officer Herrera was patrolling the same neighborhood when the resident waved him down and surprised him with a loaf of gluten-free bread. The resident’s daughter works at a gluten-free bakery and wanted to do something thoughtful for the officer and his family.

It’s moments like these that show the meaningful connections created through community policing. Thank you to this resident and her daughter for their kindness!
