The officer swam 300 yards off the coast of Little Egg Harbor in June 2021 to save an 82-year-old man.
A New Jersey corrections officer has been honored with a prestigious award for rescuing an elderly boater while off-duty last year.
Chad Ammerman, a senior corrections officer at the Garden State Youth Facility, swam 300 yards off the coast of Little Egg Harbor in June 2021 to save an 82-year-old man who was in the water near his sinking boat. Ammerman received the Carnegie Medal for the rescue, an award given by the Carnegie Hero Fund that recognizes those who risk death or serious injury while attempting to save someone else’s life.
“I’m just grateful I could be in the right place at the right time that day to help,” Ammerman said. “I appreciate the Carnegie Hero Fund for recognizing me in this way.”“Senior Officer Ammerman represents the best of NJDOC,” state Department of Corrections Commissioner Victoria L. Kuhn said. “When we say we are ‘NJDOC Strong,’ this is what we mean – a willingness to put others before self, to risk one’s own safety to save another.
