Patrol Officer Andrew Gosink of the Hillsboro Police Department, left, was commended Monday night at Hillsboro City Council’s monthly meeting by Chief Darrin Goudy, right, for reportedly stopping a suicide. According to Goudy, Gosink recently responded to a home where a woman was threatening to kill herself with a knife. Gosink forced entry into the home and spoke with the woman, eventually getting close enough to take the knife, according to Goudy. Goudy said Gosink’s quick work gave the woman a “new lease on life.”
