Chicago Lodge 7 Officer Awards
Sergeant Gabriel Ruvalcaba, Star #1879
Police Officer Javed Ali, Star #8411
On Feb. 14, 2021, Officer Wlezien observed what appeared to be a stranded motorist located at 1 West Helipad St. inside O’Hare Air- port. The weather was below zero degrees with a negative 20-de- gree wind chill. The out-of-town driver related to Officer Wlezien that she had become lost in the area, her daughter was pregnant and the baby was on the way. Officer Wlezien immediately radi- oed for EMS and assisted the pregnant passenger. He observed the baby’s head crowning and helped deliver the baby, wrapping the baby in a winter coat and placing the baby on the chest of the mother. EMS finally arrived on scene and transported the new mother and her baby to Resurrection Hospital for observation. Of- ficer Wlezien completed 2.5 Blue Cards before he cleared the job.
It is with great appreciation that Chicago Lodge 7 presents Of- ficer Wlezien with the Distinguished Service Award.
