Officer Khiry Thomas with the Henry County Police Department was awarded his department’s prestigious Lifesaving Medal Award on January 20, 2017, for utilizing life-saving measures during an incident that occurred last August. Henry County Chief Keith Nichols presented the medal to Thomas. In the incident, Thomas was dispatched to a male who was unresponsive inside his vehicle which was blocking traffic on Jonesboro Road. Upon his arrival, Officer Thomas removed the male from the vehicle and began CPR. Two off-duty medical professionals were also present and assisted until Henry County Fire / Rescue arrived. Officer Thomas’ quick thinking and heroic actions helped save the gentleman’s life.
