On Tuesday afternoon, Greensburg Police Dept. Sgt. Stevens and Officer Bailey responded to an emergency call reporting a juvenile hanging from the walking bridge in Greensburg.
According to Greensburg Police Chief Josh Judd, upon arrival officers observed the juvenile suspended over the side of the bridge, while family members attempted to hold her and prevent her from falling.
Without hesitation the officers, approaching from opposite ends of the bridge, climbed the safety barriers to reach the individual. Working together, they secured her by the arms and safely pulled her back over the railing, bringing her out of immediate danger.
Their quick response, professionalism, and decisive actions were critical in preventing a life-threatening incident.
The Greensburg Police Department commends Sgt. Stevens and Officer Bailey for their courage and dedication to protecting our community and this individual.
