Secaucus Police Officers Save Man's Life On Julianne Terrace

SECAUCUS, NJ — At 3:57 p.m. Tuesday, Secaucus Police responded to the 200 block of Julianne Terrace for a 911 call of a man who was unresponsive and not breathing.

Upon arrival, Sergeant Nicholas Spangenberg and Police Officer Thomas Schaffer immediately began cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

While performing CPR, officers Matthew Cutola and Thomas Spuler readied their Automated External Defibrillators (AED) and assisted with CPR until EMTs arrived from Hudson Regional Hospital, who were later assisted by paramedics from Jersey City Medical Center.

The man's pulse was found shortly thereafter, and he regained consciousness.

He was transported to Hudson Regional Hospital and as of Wednesday afternoon, remains in stable condition in the hospital.

“The continuous training of Secaucus police officers once again proved fruitful and saved another life,” Police Chief Dennis Miller said. “I am extremely proud of these officers and their quick response. However, I would be negligent if I did not give praise to Hudson Regional Hospital’s EMS and Jersey City Medical Center’s paramedics for their ongoing commitment to the safety of the residents of the town of Secaucus.”
