This video of a rescue last night on the Brooklyn Bridge will take your breath away.
High above the East River, NYPD ESU officers climbed onto the Brooklyn Bridge to reach a woman in crisis who was threatening to jump.
For nearly an hour, they stayed with her, spoke with her, and waited for the moment they could safely pull her back from the edge.
The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary. May God bless them.

A glimpse into the work of our Emergency Service Unit.
God bless these officers.
Today, the NYPD welcomed the newest members of the Emergency Service Unit — officers who earned their place in one of the most elite units in the country.
Their work demands discipline, judgment, physical endurance, technical skill, and the ability to remain calm in the most intense situations. From hostage rescues to collapsed buildings, ESU handles some of the most complex and dangerous jobs in this city.
When the public needs help, they call the police, and when the police need help, they call ESU. When that call comes, these new members of ESU will be there to answer it.
