Crawled under bus and stayed until she was rescued

WEST VALLEY CITY — For nine years, West Valley police officer Kevin Peck has protected and served the citizens of his city by trying to keep the streets safe from the criminal element.

"I figured that there was probably a victim lying on the ground next to the bus or in front of the bus. And as I got a little bit closer, I could see a white tennis shoe underneath," he said.


As Peck assessed the situation, he quickly found out the woman had suffered severe injuries. The tall officer crawled underneath the bus himself to take the woman's pulse. But after he grabbed her hand, he didn't let go until fire crews were eventually able to lift the bus off of her and pull her out.

He is a great man, no doubt. Compassion is often the greatest strength.

Life is fragile: sometimes the difference between holding on and dying is hope.

Crawls under a bus one day, only to be thrown under on another day. Such is life for a cop.

Happens more often than you think.



I can think of half a dozen guys on my shift alone that have done something similar during their careers.



That's not to take away from this officer's actions, just a fact.

*I know it's not cool around here, but that is MUCH more the profile of your typical cop than the "JBT" thing.

Amazing fellow, this officer. Hope he is recognized by his community for his actions. His behavior is the perfect counter to the asshattery that results in damage to the public trust the bad cops cause. Good on him. A true hero, no doubt.
