POLICE ASSOCIATION OF NOVA SCOTIA 21 DAVE STEWART, PNI ATLANTIC - Published Nov 14, 2024 dave.stewart@theguardian.pe.ca Charlottetown police officer downplays role in rescuing woman from harbour waters CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. It was around 10 p.m. on Nov. 8 when the call came over to police radio that a woman had fallen in the water of the Charlottetown Harbour. Veteran Charlottetown police Cpl. Tim Keizer was nearby onWater Street when the call came in. He hit his lights and siren and whipped the car around. On the way there I took off my gun belt and any personal objects because I figured I knew there wasn’t going to be anybody there closer than me, Keizer said in an interview with The Guardian on Nov. 12 at Charlottetown Police Services. When he got to the end of Queen Street, he could not see the woman, so he started yelling and screaming trying to locate her. At this point, other units started to arrive, and all the officers were yelling for the woman. The officers discovered the woman, identified only as a 27-year-old, had drifted from the bottom of Queen Street over towards Peakes Quay. She was clinging to an item of clothing a friend had thrown her to keep her from going under. Charlottetown police veteran Cpl.Tim Keizer pulled a woman out of the icy waters in the Charlottetown Harbour on the night of Nov. 8. He shrugs off any suggestions that it was a heroic act. - Photo by Dave Stewart • The Guardian PANS in the community Charlottetown Police Servicecontinued continued
