Two Bdn Police Service officers up for award
2/15/2009 at 11:31 AM
I just read in the Bdn Sun Feb 14th paper that Constables Chris James and Ryan Friesen are nominated to receive The Canadian Police Association Award of Excellence. They saved the life of a suicidal man at considerable risk to themselves. Constables James and Friesen managed to approach the man unobserved as police negotiators talked to him. Constable James stepped over the railing of 8th St. bridge as the man was perched on the edge. Just as the man stepped off the bridge James grabbed his arm and Friesen scaled the railing and held his other arm. They kept the man from serious injury and/or possible death. He was pulled to safety by the two officers. Job well down!!
