 On July 3, 2020, Officer Wilson was dispatched to the 1200 block of Harriett for a subject having a psychotic episode. On arrival, she found a male subject on the roof of that address. The subject almost fell off of the roof several times. She was eventually able to convince the subject to safely come down from the roof.Â
She recognized that he was in need of Crisis Intervention and completed the necessary paperwork. She also talked with his mother about the steps taken to get him the help he needed. After the incident Officer Wilson continued to follow up with the family about his progress.
This was a very professional and compassionate response to a person in crisis and helped prevent serious injury. Officer Wilson’s follow up with the family went well above and beyond what her professional responsibility required. This caring attitude has been evident on many other occasions with those she serves as an officer.
Congratulations on a job well done!!
