For Brian Geer, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community police officer and Emergency Management Coordinator, decisive action comes naturally.
On Jan. 30, Geer was the first to arrive at the scene of a capsized kayak in Skagit Bay. Commandeering another kayak, Geer attached a rope to the overturned vessel and towed the victim through a strong current back to shore.
A mere 12 hours earlier, Officer Geer was on his way home when he noticed a vehicle driving erratically. Upon pulling the vehicle over, he was met with a woman in the throes of labor. Brian took action, helping deliver the baby on the side of the road.
We raise a glass to Brian, because OY6 serves those who serve.
