Congrats to Windsor Police Cst. BJ Wiley on winning the Service’s 2022 Award of Valour. The award is bestowed to a member who demonstrates remarkable courage in the face of great danger and risk to personal safety while on or off duty.
On June 12, 2021, Cst. Wiley was off duty and driving to lunch with his family when he spotted a vehicle on fire stopped at an intersection. Inside the car was an elderly driver who was panicking and unable to get out.
Without hesitation, Cst. Wiley ran to the burning vehicle, pulled the man out and dragged him to safety. Less than 60 seconds later, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames.
His bravery on that day was remarkable – and truly exemplifies the Service’s core values.
