3 Secaucus Cops Revive Man Who Stopped Breathing, Had No Pulse

SECAUCUS, NJ — A 59-year-old man is alive thanks to three Secaucus police officers who came to his rescue. Officer Philip Caruso, Officer Kristen Bronowich and Officer Matthew Kirvin are now being hailed as heroes.

On June 12, 2020 at 8:33 a.m., the Secaucus Police Department received a medical alarm at Long Shot Gun Range, which is at 375 County Avenue.

After arriving to the location, Officer Caruso found that the man was not breathing and had no pulse. He quickly began cardio pulmonary resuscitation, according to Chief Dennis Miller.

As he performed CPR, the chief said Officers Kirvin and Bronowich arrived to help Caruso. While performing CPR, the officers used their automated external defibrillator (AED) and administered two “shocks” to the man. A pulse was found shortly right after by Hudson Regional Hospital EMTs who also arrived on the scene.

The man was transported to a nearby hospital and is currently in stable condition in the intensive care unit, police said.

“I am extremely proud of these officers and commend their determination in performing these lifesaving measures. I am especially proud that these officers utilized their training and the equipment provided to them, worked as a team and were able to bring this victim back to life,” Chief Miller said.
