OFFICER WHO CAN’T SWIM SAVES DROWNING BABY – VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED

When some run out, these are the people that run in. Police, fire, and EMS are the ones that head into situations where life and death may be an issue and time is of the essence. They put aside their personal safety at times to make sure someone is saved or cared for as quickly as possible. It isn’t always a good outcome. For every save you hear about there are several that don’t end that way. So, it’s great when the good stories get shared and we praise those that did what they could to help others in need. Recently, a police officer in Jacksonville, Florida who could not swim jumped into a retention pond to save a drowning baby. After getting out of the water she immediately performed CPR until other EMS arrived. The greatest part of the story is that the baby was saved! If you choose to watch the video, be advised that it is hard to watch. However, it gives the viewer a great perspective to what these people have to accomplish in a bad situation. Me’Atia Sanderson is truly a hero!
