Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting May 21,2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida to the vehicle and looked inside and spotted a young adult male laying down on the back seat barely conscious. The hose leading into the vehicle from the exhaust pipe was doing its intended purpose,putting the occupant to sleep and ultimately to death by carbon monoxide asphyxiation. Detective Mulvey called 911 and proceeded to force his way into the vehicle. There was just enough room through the window to forcibly remove the hose first,and then force the door open. Detective Mulvey dragged the almost lifeless adult male out and began emergency aid as medical units arrived and Police responded to the scene. The victim later admitted when interviewed that he suffers from schizophrenia and was off his medications and intended to take his life. Chief Maas said the irony of this story of rescue was that Detective Mulvey true to his style of humility and quiet demeanor said nothing to anyone of the incident or his life saving rescue. Not until he received a call from a Tamarac District Deputy from the Broward Sherriff s Office were we informed of Detective Mulvey's heroic actions. It is consistent with his professionalism,humility,and dedication both on and off duty. And since he didn't relay this story to him, he had no idea that he was being rewarded tonight, we were able to keep that from him. In fact, he doesn't even know that his parents and sister are in the audience tonight. His father is retired law enforcement in Newark,New Jersey,and currently works for the Broward Sherriff s Office. Chief Maas presented Detective Mulvey with the "Life Saving Medal of Valor" on behalf of the Dade Chiefs Association, the City of Sunny Isles Beach,the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department,and most importantly,the citizens for whom we work for. Detective Mulvey said he is humbled by this recognition. He is here to do a job for this community and it doesn't matter if it is Sunny Isles Beach or anywhere else, it is what we do and we try to be professional and maintain that image for the public. 6.
