These types of officers arent in it to take everyone to jail or to let them die ,some are in this line of work to actually help the citizens of their community ....

Thanks Kevin. I am one of those who made it back.

Kevin and his fellows are the heros, I salute you

It's amazing to see that he made that kind of difference in someone's life. He obviously has a big heart. This is a man that makes a difference in this world

My father was in theCalifornia Hwy Patrol and was a motorcycle cop on the Golden Gate Bridge and saved many a jumper. He later was at the San Leandro Office. I remember as a kid my father would come home in the middle of the night and grab our blankets and sheets and coats to give to people in need that he ran across. He even brought a chicken home in the back of the patrol car once as it had been left on the freeway. Those were really the good old days when police would serve the population. My dad had a big heart.

What a fine piece! So proud of all who produced.

It must be a VERY empty, lonely feeling when one is faced with ending their own life. This is compassion at it's best!

thats good work god bless you for saving so many lives

Tears in my eyes. What a heartfelt piece. What a triumph for the human condition. God bless Kevin Briggs and all those who truly, from their hearts, try to make a difference. BTW Outstanding production as well!!

Powerful piece.

I have a friend that took his own life last October in Michigan. I wish there was someone like Officer Briggs around before he took his own life

Nice production

That man is amazing.

Everyone saying "just let them jump", what if they were one of your loved ones? You wouldn't be saying that. Grow up.

Good people doing good things. More news like this please.

Brilliant! My former colleagues did an amazing job!

Wow, Finally a good news article! Just makes ya feel all good inside doesn't it? All the scamming and race bait, political bigotry, murder, and general poo just drains a person. It is amazing how just one lil story can uplift you so much. I know there is horrible thing happening in the world and it need to be reported , Or some does, but there has to be more stories than you report on that are like this!

After reading about the Idiots on the Subway in NYC that allowed that poor man to die made me want to vomit.
Kevin I'm sure God is blessing your life right now and the best is yet to come.

Kudos to this Police Officer!

Humanity at its finest! Thanks Kevin for being THAT guy! So bloody awesome!
