On Wednesday, July 10th, our officers responded to a neighborhood pool in reference to a potential drowning victim.

Officer Wright of the Herculaneum Police Department was first to respond.  It is reported that three young Herculaneum residents performed heroic, life-saving actions prior to the arrival of first responders.  The victim, a minor, was resuscitated and transferred to a local hospital and has since been released.

“I am so very proud of these three young ladies for their amazing efforts.  I am also proud of Officer Wright and all others that were involved at the scene.

We will be formally recognizing these heroes at our August 19th, 2024 Board of Aldermen Meeting.”

Mayor Ryan Wright
