Deputies Help Bring Woman to Safety
On the evening of July 24, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to reports of a woman in crisis who was threatening to jump from the Valencia Boulevard overpass above Interstate 5.
When deputies arrived, they immediately began communicating with her, established trust, and worked patiently to de-escalate the situation. The woman voluntarily stepped away from the edge and was safely taken into protective care.
We are grateful for the teamwork of our deputies, lasdmet, chp_newhall, and lacountyfd personnel, whose compassion and coordinated response helped bring this dangerous situation to a safe conclusion.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If there is an immediate emergency, call 911.
There is always hope, and help is only a call or text away.
