On Tuesday, August 9th, 2022, around 3 pm, San Leandro Police officers responded to a medical emergency near Davis Street and Beecher Street. SLPD staff learned that the driver of a vehicle suffered a medical emergency while driving and was incapacitated, causing his vehicle to be uncontrolled as it rolled through the intersection.
You, Stephon Jackson, recognized the danger, put the runaway vehicle in park, turned it off, and then comforted an infant found in the back seat, all before emergency medical personnel could arrive. Your swift actions prevented what was a tragic incident already from multiplying. More so, your act of comforting an infant is why the City of San Leandro is also known as the city where kindness matters.
This commendation is our gratitude for your bravery, empathy, and sense of community and family.
Stephon Jackson
is hereby awarded this
COMMENDATION

and is entitled to the confidence and trust of the members of the Police Department and the Citizens of San Leandro.
