Smiths Falls Police Chief Jodi Empey began this week’s board meeting by acknowledging the work done by Constables Mike Hart and Karling Fraser as well as Communicator Pam Delorme to save a life.
The trio received a Chief’s commendation last month for their response to a suicide attempt from a young person.
Life saving measures began quickly and the individual is now seeking mental health support.
Empey says the Mobile Crisis Response Team have been very busy in the past month as calls for service have increased.
The MCRT team looks to add staff members should they receive additional grant funding.
