Emergency Responder Carlos Campos receives People Saving People Award
Emergency Responder Carlos Campos’ assistance continues to go above and beyond; so much so that he was awarded the People Saving People award from the Missouri Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Advisory Council (LETSAC) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Campos recently responded to call for a stalled vehicle. When he arrived, the driver was out of the vehicle, and Campos stopped him from walking into traffic and from getting back behind the wheel. Campos said he realized the
driver had hit something and was also impaired. Campos told the TMC dispatcher to
inform the Kansas City Police about the collision and possible DUI suspect. Meanwhile, the driver got
out of the car. Campos said he focused on keeping the individual out of
traffic until the police arrived. “The driver did display
several signs of impairment, and the driver was arrested for DUI,” Police
Officer Jordan Infranca wrote in an email to MoDOT. “I am going to send Mr.
Campos a KCPD DUI coin for his keen observations in regards to the impaired
driver and thank him for keeping our Kansas City Roads and Interstates clear
and safe.” Campos has a reputation for
going above and beyond (Emergency responder excels at
roadside safety). In
2020, he used his truck to stop a vehicle that was rolling toward a police
officer (Emergency Response Operator

For Campos, it’s all part of a day’s work. |
