Roscoe Roper has saved seven people’s lives since becoming an ambassador for the Downtown Reno Partnership, a feat he has been recognized for with a special award from REMSA.

He’s offered CPR and successfully resuscitated several homeless inhabitants who were unresponsive while completing morning well-checks. It’s all in a day’s work for Ropert who patrols the fourth zone of Downtown Reno (the area that includes the RTC bus station near 4th Street).
