Bakhyt Alimkulov joined the road police in 2003 as a junior inspector. He later served as a platoon commander in the traffic patrol regiment of the Astana Police Department and is the father of five.
The first incident took place in winter 2008 at the Torgai post on the Astrakhan highway. While they waited for an ambulance, a woman went into labour in a UAZ vehicle. Alimkulov and a paramedic helped deliver the baby.
About a month later, a severe blizzard prevented another woman from reaching medical care in time. Police officers brought her to the post’s rest room and assisted her until the ambulance arrived.
