Tulsa Police Grateful to Brave Citizen

This morning, Michael Kannard was awarded the Police Citizen Appreciation Award for his bravery. He intervened as a violent suspect was attempting to beat an officer. Everytime a police officer is involved in such a fight, it is considered a deadly encounter. When Kannard interceded, he may have saved Officer Carl Small's life.

As Deputy Chief Bill Wells stated, "it is our chance to show our appreciation for the extraordinary acts of one of the citizens we serve."
