From the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office:

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office would like to take a moment to recognize the exceptional dedication and compassion demonstrated by Deputy Jake Brink and our first responders.

A few weeks ago, an elderly resident in Rinnie suffered a serious fall in her driveway. Deputy Brink was in the right place at the right time, quickly calling for medical assistance, providing care, and staying with her until EMS arrived—even after her family got there. His kindness and commitment in that moment made all the difference.

We recently received a heartfelt message from the resident and her family, expressing their deep gratitude for Deputy Brink’s actions. She is currently recovering and wanted to make sure that Deputy Brink and all the first responders involved knew how much their presence and compassion meant to her.

This is a shining example of the dedication our deputies, EMS teams, and dispatchers show every day in serving and protecting our community—especially our most vulnerable citizens. We are proud to have such incredible individuals on our team, going above and beyond when duty calls.

Please join us in thanking Deputy Brink and all of our first responders for their unwavering commitment to Cumberland County!
