-Within minutes, we had Mercy EMS and Aurora Fire on scene helping us give life saving attempts and care to a victim with a terrible injury.

-We immediately had search help from our friends at the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office who trudged through miles of city limits desperately wanting to end this threat.

-We had the Greene County Sheriff’s Office respond immediately with drones and dogs who scoured our city all night wanting to help us solve this case.

-We had Springfield Police with drones in the air most of the night.

-We had the Missouri State Highway Patrol on the perimeter that ultimately resulted in us taking the suspect into custody.

-We had 3/4 of the entire AMPD give up their Friday night (some after working all day) without question to rush to aid in the effort.

Folks, when something happens, we are surrounded by people just waiting to come to you. We forge good relationships with our neighbors so we can execute this type of operation. Without hesitation, these other agencies gave us manpower, expertise, and resources that are incredibly costly to obtain and operate. But doing the right thing takes priority.

We are all safer today because these agencies made Aurora their jurisdiction, and our people’s safety their goal. We could never thank our partners from the last 14 hours enough. We salute every one of you,”
