survived, crediting the coast guard doctors and a sea lion that he named herbert for saving him. he believes this steel net would have been a difference maker in his case. >> i would have hesitated. i believe with enough time for patrol officers to wonder, why is that kid just standing there, leaning over the rail, crying his eyes out? >> people who come to the bridge to harm themselves are in a tremendous amount of pain, and they want to escape pain. a fall into the net is one that will be painful. it is stainless steel. it's a 20 foot fall uh. it will. it will be incredibly painful and may cause injury. and while paolo schwartz of the golden gate bridge highway and transportation district admits that the steel net might not stop all jumps, last year there were 14 teen suicides here, well below the 30 that are usually seen at the golden gate bridge each year. >> but some have questioned the project, one that cost $224 million. >> i have not seen convincing

evidence that we're actually going to be saving that many lives, or that the several hundred million invested this way was the best way of saving the most lives. >> doctor john crews wrote a column in clinical psychiatry news where he questioned the lack of data on regional suicide rates after these type of measures have been put into place, place saying he is doubtful that those working so hard to get to the golden gate bridge just won't go somewhere else, and it does not seem on the face of it, logical to me to say that someone that determined to die is only determined to die because the golden gate bridge has such a magnetic draw that will make such a state. it. still, though, survivors and family members of victims lost to the bridge are overjoyed. buoyed by this net, i'm grateful every moment of every day to walk this earth, and i think that all the people involved in raising the net are cheering internally right now, and very

grateful for this accomplishment. 95% of the barrier is up along the 1.7 mile bridge, with just temporary work left in the remaining areas. j.r. stone, abc seven news and if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, you can find local resources by going to abc seven news.com/take action. >> and for more urgent matters, the suicide and crisis lifeline can be reached by dialing 988. >> new developments with a misconduct investigation in the san jose police department. a former officer who is under scrutiny for some disturbing text messages took a job with another department out of state. san jose's police chief says the department notified that agency about the ongoing investigation and the officer is no longer with the force. the messages surfaced after an officer shot a black man during a fight in 2022. another officer involved in the scandal resigned kind last month. >> an update to a story we brought you last night on abc seven news. the search for a
