Medal of Bravery

On January 19, 2013, detective constables Paul Couvillon, Ed Downey and Keith Lindley rescued a suicidal man who had climbed an antenna tower atop a house in Oshawa, Ontario. The officers climbed up the fragile structure and, after several minutes of intense confrontation with the mentally unstable man, they managed to lower him to the roof where they restrained him until emergency services arrived.
