Today’s Good News

Several First Precinct officers recently responded to a residence to investigate a report of a man who had threatened suicide. Officer James Peck was the first officer on scene and found a man who had tried to hang himself from a tree. He quickly ran to the victim and supported his weight with his own body until Lt. Jason Hudson and Officers Paul Scallan and Drew Carr could get him down safely. The officers then provided first aid until ambulance personnel arrived and took him to the hospital. Thanks to these officers’ swift actions, the man’s life was saved. Good work officers!
