5/13/26 - LCSO 26-2357 - Lane County Deputies save juvenile from rooftop at LCC

On May 13th about 4 pm deputies were notified of a juvenile in crisis. Family reported the juvenile was on top of a LCC campus building. Deputies responded in emergency mode to the location and established contact. Additional deputies also contacted the juvenile’s family and gathered information about what triggered the incident.

The juvenile was distraught and stayed near the edge of the roof. Two of the deputies who responded are members of the Lane County Sheriff’s Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT). These deputies were able to build rapport with the juvenile and worked to establish a deescalation strategy. Fire and EMS personnel responded with emergency equipment, including a ladder truck.

At around 5 pm, after more than 20 minutes of negotiation, the juvenile came down off the roof unharmed. The juvenile was taken to a local area hospital for treatment.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank LCC Public Safety and all of the Fire and EMT personnel who responded to assist.
