Collier Township police Officer Dan Elway saved a man's life while vacationing in Florida this summer.
Collier Township police Officer Dan Elway was just minding his own business enjoying the last day of his vacation by the swimming pool in Florida earlier this summer when he heard a woman start to scream nearby. Elway immediately jumped into action and helped pull the woman's fiancé out of the water at the pool in Key Largo.
