RENTON, Washington — A Renton man recently reunited with the police officer who helped save his life after a medical emergency left him unresponsive in a car, according to KIRO 7 News Seattle.

KIRO 7 identified the officer as Renton Police Officer Greg Bills and the man as Ken Conley. The station reported that the emergency happened on April 29 near Talbot Road South and South 50th Place.

Officer took over CPR while witnesses helped

According to the report, Officer Bills responded to a call about a man found unresponsive in his car. When Bills arrived, a nurse was already performing CPR on Conley.

KIRO 7 reported that witnesses helped move Conley out of the vehicle, and Bills then took over CPR. The officer also retrieved a Bluetooth-enabled AED from his patrol car so real-time information could be relayed to medics before they arrived.

A reunion after the first minutes mattered

Renton police said Conley is recovering, according to KIRO 7. The station reported that Conley reunited with Officer Bills in a social-media video and thanked him in person.

For Support Law Enforcement readers, the story is a reminder that lifesaving police work is often a team effort: a nurse starting CPR, bystanders helping move the patient, an officer continuing compressions, an AED giving medics better information and fire/EMS taking over care.
