From Interim Chief Randy Wing,
On 04/13/26 at the Winslow Town Council meeting Lt. Brad Hubert and Officer Todd Burbank were presented with a Life Saving Award.

On March 14, 2026 at approximately 1528 hours, Lt. Hubert and Officer Burbank responded to the Garland Rd. after a 911 caller reported seeing a female laying on the ice on the Sebasticook River. The caller subsequently advised the 911 operator that the female was witnessed rolling into the water and disappearing under the ice.
Upon arrival, Lt. Hubert and Officer Burbank quickly assessed the situation and developed a plan to rescue the victim by climbing down the embankment and onto the ice attempting to locate her. She was located under the ice after the victim was overheard moaning nearby. Despite the risk to their own personal safety, Lt. Hubert and Officer Burbank broke through the ice, rescued the female from the water and handed her to Winslow Firefighters who were just arriving on shore. The victim was hypothermic and in serious condition when recovered. If not for their quick action and rescue efforts, the women most certainly would have perished.
The Winslow Police Department and Town of Winslow would like to commend both Lt. Hubert and Officer Burbank for their quick response and rescue of the victim despite the risk to their own personal safety. Congratulations on a job well done. The Winslow Police Department is fortunate to have such professional and dedicated team members.
