On October 26, 2024, Sergeant George Imirian responded to reports of gunfire and a homicide scene when the armed suspect returned and opened fire on his patrol vehicle.
Despite sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, Sgt. Imirian continued the pursuit and engaged the suspect. Before collapsing from blood loss, he called for medical assistance for both himself and the suspect—helping end the incident and prevent further harm.
An extraordinary display of courage, composure, and commitment to protecting others.
