Commas or Semi Colons

Which is correct:

…when you; Sergeants John Doe and Jane Doe; and Deputies Mary Smith, John Smith, Joe Brown, Judy Brown, and David Green protected the lives…

…when you, Sergeants John Doe and Jane Doe, and Deputies Mary Smith, John Smith, Joe Brown, Judy Brown, and David Green pretected the lives…

Hello Lorigal,

‘Protected’ is the correct spelling.
I would just use commas as you have in the second example.

Thank you!
