On May 23, 2013, Hopkinton Police Officer Aaron O’Neil and Hopkinton Police Dispatcher Evan Brooks both participated in the 2013 Hoyt 5K Road Race held in Hopkinton. Shortly after the race started, a runner was injured on the course directly in-front of Officer O’Neil and Dispatcher Brooks. Both O’Neil and Brooks are trained EMT’s and rendered assistance to the injured runner until the arrival of paramedics. Once patient care was turned over to paramedics, both O’Neil and Brooks continued running in the event.
Dispatcher Brooks was awarded a first place trophy in the male Law Enforcement category. Officer O’Neil also finished with a respectable time. Both O’Neil and Brooks look forward to next year’s event.
