Sheriff's Deputy Commended for Bravery
The Dukes County Sheriff’s Office offers our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the unnamed shooting victim outside of the Prudential Center in Boston on Tuesday, June 4th.
In the wake of this tragedy, we wish to recognize and commend Deputy Anthony Gould of the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office for his bravery; Deputy Gould was traveling off-duty on Tuesday, and was a bystander to the tragic events that occured. Relying on his instincts and training, Deputy Gould jumped in on the scene to provide immediate emergency medical care to the victim. Deputy Gould recently completed an ALERRT training for Island Emergency Responders coordinated by the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office, which included emergency casualty care with a focus on treating victims of gunshot wounds. Deputy Gould’s actions embody the spirit of integrity, professionalism and respect, and reflect the importance of always being ready to provide mutual aid to our emergency responder brothers and sisters regardless of jurisdictional boundaries. Our hearts remain with the victim’s loved ones at this time.
