Canadian Security Lifesaver Award

TTC Specialist Samar Chhabra and Jeswin Alex, while conducting a routine patrol at the Dundas Subway Station, encountered an unresponsive individual who at the time was exhibiting signs of a drug overdose. Both guards responded with professionalism and efficiency.

S/G Alex immediately initiated CPR while S/G Chhabra communicated with TTC control and cleared the area to ensure emergency responders could access the person in distress. The team administered two doses of naloxone, with S/G Alex continuing CPR between doses. Their efforts successfully restored the individual’s breathing and responsiveness. The guards remained focused and continued life-saving assistance until the subject regained consciousness and began breathing.

The quick thinking, clear communication, and teamwork displayed by S/G Chhabra and S/G Alex were crucial in saving the individual’s life. Their actions exemplify the highest standards of service, professionalism and commitment to public safety.
