After an hour of compassionate negotiation approximately 200 feet above the East River, Officer Cristian Yepes wrapped his arms around the woman and was able to bring her to safety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got you, I promise,&#8221; Yepes is heard telling the woman on body camera video.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The care, courage, and compassion these officers showed was just extraordinary,&#8221; Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NYPDPC\/status\/2075240363250331685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The rescue was one of three by the same unit within one week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is what I&#8217;ve been training for, this is what I&#8217;ve prepared for,&#8221; Yepes said in an interview. &#8220;And my ultimate goal is to make sure everyone&#8217;s safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yepes was a patrol officer for seven years. He was fresh off the eight months of intensive training required to join the elite unit, and still it was his humanity that helped clinch the rescue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, we have the uniform. Yes, we&#8217;re police officers,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but we&#8217;re just human at the end of the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
