Const. Jeff Tait recognized for saving life of his partner
Sault Ste. Marie Const. Jeff Tait has been awarded a 2022 Ontario Medal for Police Bravery after his quick action helped save his partner's life as they responded to a domestic disturbance, according to a news release from the Ontario solicitor general.
Suddenly the man pulled out a gun and began firing at the officers. Tait returned fire and took cover when he realized Vendramin had been shot in the leg. Tait immediately tended to Vendramin's injury to control the bleeding. In the meantime, the suspect took his own life while Vendramin was rushed to the hospital. He underwent emergency surgery, and subsequently several more, before making a full recovery.
The Ontario government is honouring 21 police officers and 13 firefighters with the Ontario Medal for Police Bravery and the Ontario Medal for Firefighter Bravery. The medals are the province's highest honours and are given to police officers and firefighters who have demonstrated great courage in risking their lives to save the lives of others.
