RCMP Constable Chad William Greig, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On January 25, 2004, RCMP Cst. Chad Greig risked his life to prevent a suicidal woman from jumping off the Fraser River Bridge, near Hope, British Columbia. First at the scene, Cst. Greig managed to get close enough to the aggressive victim to grab her by her jacket to prevent her from falling to her death. Cst. Greig was partially dragged over the bridge railing by the heavy woman who repeatedly hit him to free herself from his grip. At that moment, two other police officers arrived to provide assistance. Although the woman continued her violent struggle, the three officers were able to pull her from the edge of the bridge and back to safety.
