TPD Officer Gabriel Beyer is being recognized for his efforts during the storms and flash floods that devastated much of Tallahassee in April 2024. Buildings were damaged, and many people lost their homes and loved ones. However, due to the efforts of Officer Beyer, three individuals’ lives were saved.
Due to his heroism on that day, Officer Beyer has been nominated for the national Axon RISE Award presented by @Axon.ProtectLife.
During the worst of the flooding, TPD officers received a call at 3:15am from a homeless encampment. The water levels in the area had risen quickly, and three individuals became trapped. Officer Beyer responded, and swiftly went into action, swimming into the seven-foot-deep waters. He put his life at risk to successfully rescue these individuals from the encampment, who otherwise may have drowned in the flood waters.
