The safety department was selected by the commandant’s staff for outstanding performance from among the impressive nominations of other aviation safety departments and individuals.
During the period of 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2011, the Elizabeth city safety department was instrumental in developing a proactive safety culture at the unit. They modified and expanded the unit’s operational risk management (ORM) program through the development and implementation of a more robust ORM process guide. The final product not only captured risk data for operational and training flights, but additionally mirrored the district level and sector level gar model allowing flight crews to quickly communicate risk-based decisions to other Coast Guard units, thus improving communication between multiple response platforms.
The Coast Guard Aviation Association annually presents the Captain Marion “Gus” Shrode Aviation Safety Award to recognize superior performance and outstanding contributions to Coast Guard aviation safety. Captain Shrode was a pioneer in the development of Coast Guard aviation standardization programs, including publication of the Coast Guard’s first aircraft standardization manual. Captain Shrode was also instrumental in creating the Coast Guard’s Aviation Training Center in 1966, served as the Aviation Safety Chief, and completed seven years of continuous aviation command with distinction.

CREW OF HC-144 CGNR 2306 – CGAS MIAMI, FL LT Stacia Parrott , LTJG Daniel Feirman AET1 Thomas Morrell, AMT2 Casey Green AMT2 Jacob Eide, AET3 Jeremy Church
The commander Elmer F. Stone award goes to the Air Station Miami crew of CGNRr 2306 in recognition of their efforts on 22 may 2011.the skill and dedication of LT Stacia Parrott, LTJG Daniel Feirman,AET1 Thomas Morrell, AMT2 Casey Green, AMT2 Jacob Eide, and AET3Jeremy Church resulted in saving the of three lives. At 0400 the crew of CGMR 2306 launched to search for the source of a personal locator beacon, 44 nautical miles east of Lake Worth inlet, at the western edge of the Bahamas. Once on-scene, the crew determined their assigned search pattern was not matching with the last known location of the signal. While looking in the vicinity of what they predicted should be the search area they discovered a light that did not match navigation aids in the area. They chose to depart the search to investigate the light. Discovering a debris field, they made several passes over the immediate area. On the last pass, several persons in the water were located with the use of the infrared camera. The mission sensor operators were able to determine the exact number of survivors to be three. Acting quickly, the crew dropped a MK-58 flare at the position. The marker provided a visual reference for a surface asset to locate and safely recover all three PIW. Through their effective use of mission planning, crew resource management, and proactive leadership, the crew succeeded in saving three lives.
