At the recent Town Council meeting, Officer Pile was presented with the Life Saving Award for his heroic actions while off duty.
In April, Officer Pile responded to a serious motorcycle crash before EMS arrived. Drawing on his extensive training as both a United States Marine and a police officer, he provided critical medical aid - including the application of tourniquets - which helped save the life of Mr. Raymond Mitchell Jr., a fellow law enforcement officer from Wythe County Sheriff's Office.
Mr. Mitchell and his family were in attendance for the award presentation. During the ceremony, after receiving the Life Saving award, Officer Pile humbly said, "The thing that makes me the happiest is seeing Mr. Mitchell."
Officer Pile's swift and composed response in a critical moment reflects the highest standards of service and professionalism. We're proud to recognize his actions and are grateful for the positive outcome.
