On February 21, 2019, Officer Joseph Coleman was at a traffic light when a family rushing to a hospital got his attention. The panicked mother stated they needed his help because their baby girl was not breathing. After pulling out of traffic Officer Coleman sprang into action. "I put the baby in rescue position, patted its back a few times. It seemed to start sputtering up and breathing a little better," recalled Officer Coleman. "I didn't know what to do but stare and just say 'Please, please, please!' He did an awesome job," said the baby’s mother. The father echoed those sentiments. "He did absolutely great. He did everything he was supposed to do. It only took a couple of seconds for her to start breathing." Coincidentally, an ambulance was heading in that direction at the time and EMS got them to the hospital. Officer Coleman says he's never experienced anything like that in his two years on the force. "30 seconds before, I was sitting at a red light waiting for it to go green," he said. "It's something on our job. You never know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen." The parents have nothing but gratitude. "We cannot thank him enough. We don't know how to repay him. There are not enough thank yous." Officer Coleman said, "I would not consider myself a hero at all. I did what any other officer would have done in that position."
