PGPD Officers Honored For Saving People Who Fell Into Frozen Pond

NEW CARROLLTON, MD -- Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski honored two officers for their efforts in rescuing three people who fell through a frozen pond last winter.

The ceremony was held Thursday morning in New Carrollton. The officers are credited with saving three citizens who had fallen through a frozen pond -- and one of the officers fell through the ice himself.

Stawinski also honored members of the Harbor Unit for their efforts to save workers placed in danger by a major crash on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge earlier this year.
