On January 20th at the Village of New Athens Board Meeting, Officer Cody Powell was presented the Law Enforcement Commendation Medal and Certificate from the ‘Sons of the American Revolution’ Lewis and Clark Chapter. This award was in reference to a service call in which Officer Powell responded to on November 15th involving a cardiac arrest with Officer Powell administering NARCAN to a citizen overdosing.
