Ptl. Baker Credited with Lifesaving Actions While Off-Duty

The Wall Township Police Department would like to recognize the lifesaving actions taken by Ptl. Jerry Baker while off-duty, at the beach in Sea Bright, on September 26, 2021.  Ptl. Baker heard two persons calling for help, while they were caught in a rip current and in dire distress.  He immediately grabbed a surfboard, paddled out to the victims, and rescued both.  By demonstrating quick judgement and selfless courage, Ptl. Baker prevented two drownings.  He is a credit to himself and the entire Wall Township Police Department.
