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.

So YES this has been a huge success.

It would be good to have @rowanbridge update his inaccurate @BBCWorld reporting that the scheme was first floated in 2023 by @GovKathyHochul Yes she backed it, but it has a long history & many hands' work to get it to that point, and so it's simply inaccurate to reduce to this:
@GreggBishopNYC So sorry to hear of this. Andy was a colleague for many years in several administrations. He was always a voice of reason and an outstanding public servant who always put the people of New York City first.
