Sergeant Kevin Briggs is a California Highway Patrol officer who has stopped upwards of two hundred people from jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco Bay.
I interviewed this remarkable man known as the Guardian of Golden Gate. It's quite a long read (15 mins or so) and this is my personal site but here's the interview:

"The Bridge is a 2006 British-American documentary film by Eric Steel spanning exactly one year (365 days) of filming at the famed Golden Gate Bridge which crosses the Golden Gate entrance to San Francisco Bay, connecting the city of San Francisco, California to the Marin Headlands of Marin County, in 2004. The film captured a number of suicides, and featured interviews with family and friends of some of the identified people who had thrown themselves from the bridge that year."
