The incident occurred on July 26, 2022. According to police, Const. Martin Boreczek, Carl Mullings and Raymond Yousef were deployed to a highrise building under construction after getting a call about an individual that was in distress.
The cops rushed toward the building and climbed 57 flights of stairs and construction obstacles to get to the roof on time. When they got to the top, they dialogued with a man and brought him into safety.
Police disclosed that the man was later connected to wrap-around support services and resources.
Recently, police said the three officers received the AXON Jack Cover Medal of Heroism.
The award recognizes individuals for de-escalating high-stress, high-risk incidents in an emphatic and compassionate way.
In a statement, Chief Nishan Duraiappah said he was proud of his officers.
He said: “This recognition of their professionalism and poise in a highly dynamic situation highlights their great work and is a reflection the selfless response by our officers throughout Peel Region every day.
“Stories like this remind us of the tremendous risks that our frontline officers accept in their commitment to keeping our communities safe. Our officers’ dedication to helping our most vulnerable is making a difference and is rightfully being recognized year-after-year.”
