Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center https://www.asante.org/Locations/location-detail/asante-rogue-regional-medical-center/In Medford, Oregon, security officers save a man who reportedly was about to jump from a parking garage rooftop at the Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, according to Fox 26:

Hospital security was notified by a nurse who witnessed the man crouched on the ledge of the parking garage.

The man who saved his life says he knew he needed to move quickly.

“I felt like I needed to do something fast, I didn’t have time to wait for law enforcement or first responders, I needed to act now so at that time I motioned to the other two security officers to assist him,” said lead security officer, Anthony Pinon.

All of us would like to end our careers the way Dwight Daniel is ending his.

The security shift team leader at Alabama Power is retiring at the end of this month after more than 33 years at the company. He does so with a sense of fulfillment for what he contributed.

“Security work is always something that I liked to do,” he said. “At one point I had wanted to do law enforcement but I had some knee problems,” so Alabama Power security was a better fit.
