It’s been a year to remember for Corporal Derrick Riego with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
On Friday, he was named by Central Alabama CrimeStoppers as its 2022 “CrimeStoppers Officer of the Year” for the entire state of Alabama. That honor followed one in May in which he was recognized as the “Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office CrimeStoppers 2022 Officer of the Year”
Riego called for medics and administered a first dose of lifesaving Narcan, which initially appeared to show positive results. When Campbell became unresponsive again, Riego administered a second dose and, determining his fellow deputy’s quickly deteriorating condition could not wait for medics, made the decision to rush him to Baptist East Hospital on his own.
Campbell’s condition was ultimately stabalized and he was able to make a full recovery because of the actions of his fellow officers. Corporal Derrick Riego is seen here in May after being named the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office "Officer of the Year" for 2022.
