TPD said the officer faces extreme limitations in mobility due to his injuries. In their Facebook post, TPD added, "we’d be remiss if we didn’t say the officer’s progress today is a testament to the bravery and immediate life-saving aid provided by additional responding officers that night. Their resilience, combined with the strength of our injured officer, is why he had a fighting chance. Not to mention, the incredible care provided by the staff of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare to ensure our officer progressed to a rehabilitation center."
