“Emergency Communications Officer Samantha Mattingley saved a life by expertly guiding CPR over the phone, helping the patient before Lynchburg Fire Department EMS arrived!
That’s not all! Samantha was also named LPD Emergency Communications Officer of the 1st Quarter 2025, earning this honor through her outstanding dedication and professionalism.
She played a key role monitoring an LPD Radio Channel during a high-stakes operation with the LPD Tactical Unit and Virginia State Police Drug Task Force, which led to the arrest of a wanted individual.
Samantha’s calm, sharp skills show exactly why the LPD Emergency Communications team is the lifeline behind the scenes, making a real difference every day.”
