WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. September 21, 2012:
White Plains Commissioner of Public Safety, David Chong reports that a team of White Plains police officers succeeded in convincing a 27 year old man threatening to commit suicide to come off the ninth floor ledge of the Longwood Avenue Parking Garage Friday morning about 7:30 A.M. Officers.
Commissioner Chong said the officers will be honored. He reports to WPCNR:
Friday at approximately 0756 AM. WP 911 began to receive calls that a young man was sitting on the 9th. story ledge of the parking structure at Longview and Maple. Police units arrived within seconds and found a despondent, 27 year old male, a White Plains resident threatening to jump. Patrol Sergeant Kevin Farrelly, Police Officer Robert Riley, and specially trained Emergency Services Police Officer's, Robert Demodna and Edward Gordon immediately assessed the situation and as trained, calmly, working as a team, engaged the individual who was extremely emotional, in conversation. After about 30 minutes, the officers were able to convince the individual that they cared for him and that they would get him help. The individual agreed to climb back over the ledge and into the custody of the Officers. He was then taken to a local area hospital to be treated. He will not be charged. The officers did a tremendous job in a very highly stressful situation and clearly saved the life of this young man. As Commissioner, I am very proud of this Police Department. Mayor Thomas Roach said that " he continues to be impressed by the job the Police Officer's do daily" and also extended his gratitude to the Officers directly involved. The officers will all be submitted for department citations. |
