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.
