On September 26, 2014, a Good Samaritan, Kayla Evans became aware of a distressed woman in Southport and despite personal risk went to her aid, while notifying police of the dangerous situation.
Southport officers, Constables Sara Robinson and Fernando Teixeira, attended the scene and, despite the danger to themselves and the woman, built on Kayla’s good work to successfully resolve the situation.
On January 27, Inspector Damien Crosby and Acting Senior Sergeant Brendan Wiblen presented District Officer’s Certificates to Kayla, Sara and Fernando at the Southport Police Station, formally recognising their clear judgement and teamwork in resolving a life endangering situation.
