Citizen Heroes Alejandro and Maria Dolores Duran
On July 9, 2006, two Citizen Hero Awards were presented at Station 18, 'A' shift, to Alejandro and Maria Dolores Duran. On May 10, 2006, a van full of people smashed windows of an AC Transit bus with baseball bats while harrassing a passenger on board. While fleeing, the van crashed into a Toyota Corolla, injuring the driver of the Corolla and a young female child, as well as passengers in the van. Maria Duran used a pair of scissors to cut the seat belt of the driver of the van to free her. Then, when passengers of the van tried to assault the father and child who were in the Corolla, Alejandro and Maria took the father and child into their home to provide a safe refuge until paramedics arrived to take them to the hospital.
The Citizen Hero Awards were presented to Alejandro and Maria Dolores Duran in recognition of their courage and compassion to help those in need while placing themselves in harm's way, and for providing shelter and comfort to those in need of a safe haven. Captain Enrique Padilla and Lieutenant Frank Tijiboy presented the awards at Station 18.
