Congratulations To Officer Meador - And Response

  • Monday, April 18, 2016

To Officer Steve Meador, Your actions  Saturday evening in saving a woman from jumping off the Market Street Bridge caught the attention of the staff at the Washington Post and this story is posted on their home page.

Good work.

You could say that Officer Meador was just doing his job because that's what the police are supposed to do, and I would agree. However, like you Mr. Hicks, I'd say he was doing a really, really good job. I'm a known sap, but it brought a proud tear to my eye as I pondered the anarchy our CPD and HCPD men and women are dealing with lately. 

I'd like to say that I would have done the same thing, but I'm pretty much convinced I'd have bumbled and missed her pants and likely would have pushed her to her death. Thank God I was in bed by then. 

Meanwhile, way to go Officer Meador. You are a professional and a very good man.

Savage Glascock, Sr.
