SAULT STE MARIE, Mich. — A Michigan State Police trooper helped revive an unresponsive woman on his fourth day on the job in the Upper Peninsula.
Noah Misiak, who graduated from recruit school in November, and Rachel Olesen of the Sault Ste. Marie post responded to South Mackinac Trail near 4 1/ 2 Mile Road at approximately 11:18 a.m. on Wednesday.
Upon arrival, they found a 60-year-old woman from Sault Ste. Marie slumped over in the car, unresponsive, not breathing and without a pulse.
The troopers, with the assistance of one of the woman’s sons, removed her from the vehicle, placed her on a blanket on the ground, and began lifesaving measures including CPR.
Thanks to the quick actions of the troopers and EMS who arrived shortly after the troopers, the woman regained a pulse while in route to MyMichigan Medical Center . She is in stable condition, police said.
“We are proud of Trooper Olesen and Trooper Misiak for their efforts to help save a life. They responded quickly and professionally,” said MSP 8th District Public Information Officer, Lt. Ben Eckola .
“Although it was just his fourth day working since graduating from recruit school, Trooper Misiak demonstrated skill and composure. MSP also thanks the City of Sault Ste. Marie Fire Department and their personnel for their fast and effective response.”
As part of his recruit school training, Misiak, along with all Michigan State Police troopers, underwent more than 1,200 hours of hands-on, scenario-based, and lecture instruction, including first aid.
