A Caddo Sheriff's deputy was recognized for his readiness to assist in a mass casualty incident in Shreveport last month, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

Patrol Deputy John Flash was presented the First Responder of the Year Award from the Caddo Lodge #179 F&AM, Free and Accepted Masons. Each year, this award is given to a first responder who exhibits exceptional dedication and commitment to service while performing their daily duties. 

Deputy Flash was recognized for immediate response to assist the Shreveport Police Department with a mass casualty shooting event on July 4th in the MLK neighborhood. 

Deputy Flash supported SPD by escorting rescued individuals to safety and helped to maintain security and crowd control at the location.  

Deputy Flash is a two-year veteran with the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office and has served as a patrol deputy for just under a year.
