Courtney Knox and
Lieutenant Steve Neal
Vancouver police honors
citizen
Courtney Knox was nominated
for a citizen commendation by the Vancouver Police East Precinct
patrol squad, in a ceremony that took place on July 21, for his role
in assisting police in the apprehension of a burglary suspect.
On
April 8, 2009, the Vancouver Police Department were dispatched to a
burglary in progress. The victim was in her residence when an
intruder attempted to gain entry into her home by prying open the
front door. Knox noticed the subject running from the residence, and
at the same time, the homeowner ran out into the street, pointing
towards the subject and stating that he had just robbed her.
Not knowing whether the subject was armed, Knox followed the
subject; when the subject ran into a back yard and tried to scale a
fence in an effort to escape, Knox grabbed him and pulled him back
into the yard, placed the subject’s arms behind him and escorted him
to the front yard where he held the subject until police arrived.
The subject was arrested for the crime of attempted burglary. This
individual has a long criminal history, and without the assistance
of Knox he might have escaped justice.
Knox was also presented a letter, certificate of thanks and a plaque
by Lieutenant Steve Neal in a
ceremony held at the Vancouver Police East Precinct. Coincidentally,
July 21 was also Knox’s birthday.
