Detective James Rodden on July 13th, 2010 was dispatched to a report of a person who was suicidal. Upon coming into contact with this person who was combative, he approached the person to render assistance. The person ran away from him and EMS personnel and fearing for their safety he followed. While attempting to aid the suicidal person during a physical altercation he was knocked down and his department issued OC spray exploded causing him severe discomfort as well as sustaining an injury to his shoulder, in spite of this, he was still able to subdue the suicidal person, so they could get medical treatment and be transported to the hospital. His actions to save the life of the suicidal person while placing himself in harms way is deserving of a letter of commendation.
Congratulations on a job well done.
