NORTH VERNON, Ind. – The Jennings County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) has awarded Deputy Chris Amis the Life Saving Award for his heroic actions in the fall of 2024.
Last year, Deputy Amis came upon a serious crash involving an overturned vehicle with a trapped occupant. Without hesitation, he began rescue efforts. During the rescue, Deputy Amis sustained a laceration to his arm but continued working until the victim was safely removed and received medical attention. His bravery, selflessness, and determination directly contributed to saving a life.
In recognition of his extraordinary actions, Deputy Amis was nominated for the national Axon Rise Award in November 2024 by Chief Deputy Cody Low. This nomination further highlights the impact of his courage and the high standard of service he represents within the Jennings County Sheriff’s Office.
