Officer Frank W. Jackson of the Village of Goshen, New York, Police Department responded to a call of a vehicle that had crashed through the showroom window of a local car dealership. On arrival, he found that a hysterical, distraught woman intentionally had slammed her sport utility vehicle into two new cars, drove through the showroom window, and then crashed it into several new vehicles on the showroom floor, narrowly missing several employees and customers. The woman had locked herself in the vehicle and was threatening to commit suicide by slashing her wrists and neck with a razor knife. Officer Jackson immediately tried to calm the woman and convince her to shut the vehicle off and open the window. The woman did not respond to negotiations and continued to cut herself. When the woman put the vehicle in gear and attempted to move away, Officer Jackson immediately smashed the driver's side window with his baton and tried to shut off the vehicle. The woman attempted to slash Officer Jackson with the razor knife. He immediately disarmed her, removed her from the vehicle, and took her into custody. Officer Jackson's selfless actions prevented the woman from taking her own life and from further endangering the lives of other individuals at the scene.
