Hey, what's the baby's name? >> Zire. Z. >> Hey, Zire. >> Come on, man. >> Hey, stay with me, buddy. >> Stay with me. >> You don't You don't think he's going to live? >> He's He needs to go to the doctor. He's literally breathing, but he's choking. >> He might still be alive, Dave. >> This 8-year-old boy was at the brink of death after getting too close to an exposed power line. Then the officer did the unthinkable to save his life. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. >> On the 30th of August, 2022, Michigan police officers arrived at the scene of the accident to find 8-year-old Blake barely clinging to life. Blake had been playing in the street when a snapped electrical wire sent thousands of volts surging through his small body. And this deadly accident also meant instant death for anyone who made the wrong step while trying to save the little boy. >> Stay back. Stay back. Get back. Get back. Stay back. >> Stay back. Where's the wire? Where's the wire? Where's the >> wire? Right there. Right in front of your face. >> Is that the one right in front of you? >> Yes. This one right here. >> Get it, buddy. Buddy, buddy, come here, buddy. Come here. >> Come here. >> Don't touch him. >> You might still be alive, Dave. >> The terrified little brother watched helplessly as the other officers did nothing. All they could do was seal off the area while watching helplessly, scared to make a move. But the same couldn't be said for officer Daniel Rose and officer David Chapman who made a move ignoring their fear. >> All right, I'm going to Yeah, >> I got to get him, right? I got to get him. >> Stay right there. Take >> him. Take him. Take him. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Keep coming. Watch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You there, buddy. >> Still breathing. >> Are we still breathing? >> Hey, buddy. >> Stay there, buddy. Come on. Come on. >> Come on. >> Hey, bud. Hey, buddy. >> Get him in a position. >> Hold on. He's Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Just hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> Hey, buddy. >> You want a mask? >> Take the backpack off. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> There's a wire here. >> Get back. >> Come on. Let's get him. Uh, yeah. >> Hey, our suspects were in the back east. >> Hey, buddy. >> The officer got a little taste of electricity while saving the boy. But that didn't matter. What mattered was that Blake was alive. The question was for how long. >> Give me one more just to help. >> 212. Which you guys want to go all the way north? >> Yeah, main stay here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> One more. Get one more back there with him. I'm I'm with you. I'm with you with you. You okay? There you go. Open your eyes. I know. I know. It hurts. I know. I know, brother. I know. We're at the We're going to the hospital. All right. These are good. This is >> Yeah. This is excellent. All right. >> You're good, buddy. >> You're a good brother. >> Let it out. Let it out. >> Although his screams were gut-wrenching, Blake made it to the hospital and he survived. As for the officers, they were honored with a valor award, which is welld deserved. Thankfully, Blake was rescued on time, but the next baby wasn't as fortunate. She had to wait in pain for a whole week. >> The baby's here, dude, and the baby's still alive. >> On the 14th of May, 2025, Phoenix police visited the home of a single mother because her neighbors were worried about her. At first, the officers thought it was a typical endangerment claim with a child that needed rescuing. But they found something worse than a baby in trouble. Hidden inside the home was a lifeless body. >> The baby's here and the baby's still alive. >> Hi. Come here. Come here. The authorities ran an autopsy which showed that the mother's death had no foul play. But the cause is still a mystery. What wasn't a mystery though was the danger the infant was in. Her tiny body was severely emassiated and starved. Doctors confirmed that if the officers had delayed giving life-saving care, they would have had to carry out two bodies instead of one. Fortunately, the baby made it out alive, which is a wonderful win for nosy neighbors. But even that baby was still fortunate because the next baby could not make it to the hospital. >> Come on, man. >> Hey, >> stay with me, buddy. >> Stay with me. >> That was the baby Zahir, who had stopped breathing while his parents watched helplessly as the officers struggled to bring him back. It happened on the 31st of August, 2023 in Murreey'sboro, Tennessee, where a parent made this desperate 911 call. >> 911, where's your emergency? >> My soul stopped breathing. >> Listen to me. Listen to me. Are you driving right now? Are you in a car? >> Hey, I need you guys to pull over. What color and type of vehicle are you in? >> I'm driving. >> You're in a gray car. Officer Robert Bear arrived to find an unconscious baby in the back seat and two parents who were losing their minds. They'd been rushing toward the hospital, but weren't sure they'd make it in time. The only option they had was to call for help and hope for the best. Knowing the risks involved, Officer Robert jumped in to save the infant's life. >> I got it, buddy. Hey. Hey. What's the baby's name? >> Zier. Z. >> Hey. Hey, Zire. >> Come on, man. >> Hey, stay with me, buddy. Stay with me, Tier. Stay with me. >> Daddy, please don't stop breathing. >> Okay. Okay. >> 11:45. The baby's breathing. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me. >> Okay. I don't see anything. >> I don't see anything. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> With shaking hands, Officer Bear handed the little bundle to the paramedics who made sure Zahir survived. All thanks to the officers and his parents quick thinking. But while Zahir's parents fought for him, the next baby's mother vanished in the middle of the crisis. >> No, sorry. She could have died. On a very hot day in New Jersey, the customers of a big box store heard a little girl screaming from inside a locked car. To make things worse, she was soaking wet from the heatwave. Naturally, everybody in the vicinity gathered around, trying desperately to save her because every second inside that metal oven pushed her closer to heat stroke. With all their efforts, they still couldn't reach her. That's why they chose the next best thing. They called the police. Since the victim was a child, officers didn't care about property damage. They just wanted to make sure the baby was safe. >> Oh my god. She's soaking wet. >> No, sorry. She could have died. >> Within minutes, the little girl was pulled into fresh air and given water. She survived without serious injury thanks to quick action from the strangers and the officers. But unlike the previous parent, the next mother didn't even know where her baby was until the officers found her. >> Sir, we got to climb over >> here. Let's um have Can you have them in the seat in the seat here? Put them in the air conditioning. >> This looks like another case of a parent recklessly leaving their baby in a car, but the truth was worse than that. On the 5th of August 2022 in Tampa, Florida, officers got a call because a mother left her baby in the back seat. But instead of being rescued by well-meaning strangers, the baby met car thieves. By the time the cops tracked the vehicle down, they were already afraid that the worst had happened. here. Let's um have Can you have him in the seat in the seat here? Put him in the air conditioning. What's up, >> sweetheart? Hey, darling. >> Hi, sweetie. >> Hey, baby girl. >> Hi. Hi. Come here. What's this? Huh? Water. Huh? >> Yeah. There you go. There you go, sweetheart. Okay. You're okay. You're okay, sweetheart. You're okay. >> It seems the thief didn't want to add kidnapping to his list of crimes. Instead, he gave up the car and fled. This helped the officers to save the 11-month-old before things got critical. He was safely returned to his mother. Now, if you think that mom was careless, wait until you see how an officer had to save a boy from his own father's mistake. It only takes a split second for a child to put themselves into danger. And for little Rimley, that split second happened in a swimming pool. At the time, the little boy's dad was on guard duty, but he got distracted. That little distraction led to a desperate 911 call. pool, please. >> Okay. Is the baby breathing? >> No, he's not. And he's turning blue. Please. The parents are performing CPR. >> The responding officers rushed to the scene, hoping they weren't too late. And yes, things were as bad as the caller claimed. >> Where? Where? Where? >> He's breathing. He's breathing. >> I'm breathing. In a moment of genius, the officer slapped Rimley's back using a modified Heimlick maneuver to clear his airway. >> Breathing. >> Okay. Breathing. >> You want to walk him out front? We got the paramedics. Something tells me Rimley won't be going near a pool again until he's old enough to rent his own place. No parent would want to relive that traumatic experience twice. But if you think that was bad parenting, the next parent's actions make Rimley's dad look like a perfect saint. Fortunately, an officer was there to save the adorable baby's life. >> He threw him. He's in shock. He's bleeding from the mouth. He's breathing though. shallow breathing. He's not responding. >> For some insane reason, the cruel owner of that one-year-old poodle tried to end its life by throwing it off a ledge in the park. Luckily, Officer Kelsey Garcia was nearby and responded to the call immediately. But what she saw at the scene made her immediately burst into tears. [Applause] the elevator. >> The poodle named Rocket had internal bleeding, a fractured femur, and other wounds that could have killed him. But the innocent puppy chose to fight for his life. After emergency surgery and weeks of physiootherapy, this brave pup defied the odds and made a full recovery. Then he got reunited with the heroic cub that saved his life. Soon after, Rocket found his new forever home with people who actually deserve him. His ex-owner, 26-year-old Cleopatra Morgan, was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, torturing, injuring, or not feeding an animal, criminal possession of a weapon, and false person. Yet the police force isn't just for the pain and rescues. Sometimes they are there for the most wholesome moments, too. >> I love you. >> You okay? >> On the 8th of April, 2022, the Alta Vista Police Chief went out of his way to conduct what was probably the most romantic traffic stop in US history. >> I sure hope this poor young man knows what he's getting into. Sir, I'm Chief Merrick's office PD. License, registration, please. All right. How about stepping out for me? All right. Still want to do this? I could get that squat. Have a seat right there. >> All that theatric was built up to this moment. Anything illegal or anything will hurt me poke and stick me in your vehicle? >> No, >> it's not. How about walking back here with me? >> Will you marry me? [Music] [Music] >> I love you. I appreciate it, Chief. >> You didn't know what's going on, didn't you? You're on camera, so I got it. >> Nothing beats having a unformed wingman who would make a simple moment into a beautiful memory. While that is awesome, this next officer took things a step further, making the sacrifice to save a whole family from starvation. >> I'm going to buy this stuff for her. Oh, don't make me cry. >> Is that Andrea? >> That's so nice of Jesus. You about to make me start crying. >> You really will. >> You going to make me cry. You keep that up. >> Listen. >> On the 30th of July 2022, officers were called to the Dollar General to deal with a shoplifter. They were expecting serious resistance and were about to do things by the book, but the woman decided to confess. That simple act turned the routine shoplifting into an act of unexpected mercy. >> I saw you carrying the bag. So that's beside the point. Okay. If you shoplifted, we can work something out. I'll probably just write you a citation. >> But don't don't [ __ ] me cuz I can go in there and watch video. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> You took some stuff. >> Yeah. My children don't have their kids at home. I do. >> Okay. I get that. >> Okay. >> I get that. Come on in here. Am I going to jail? >> No. >> They're probably going to borrow you from Dollar General, though. And I got to write you a ticket. Okay. >> Understand the desperation. >> I feel awful. >> No, I do understand. >> Even lying to you like that. I mean, I just feel awful. >> It's okay. I understand why you would do it. I do. I've been in situations since I was a kid. I grew up very poor, so I understand what it's like to have starving kids and all that kind of stuff. >> When they got to the store, the officer decided to take things a step further. Instead of just processing her, the officer thought about her starving children and led her off with a lot more than just a trespass citation. >> I just walked on back to the store my mom. >> I want >> It's really up to her what she wants to do at this point. So, >> let me call my answer. >> Okay. >> I understand. She's got to ask if um they want to prosecute. If they want to prosecute, you're just going to get a ticket. >> Okay. >> Um and then it's up to them, too, if they want to borrow you from here. Okay. >> Okay. That's fine. >> I'm going to buy this stuff for her. >> Oh, don't make me cry. >> She got three kids at home. She's trying to feed. So, >> yeah. >> So, nice. You about to make me start crying. >> You really will. >> You going to make me cry. You keep that up. >> Listen, I get it. I really do. And I'm sorry you're going through a hard time and I know you got babies to feed. This this this ain't the way. >> This ain't the way. There's so many people, so many food drives, so many things. And I know it takes a lot of pride to suck it up >> and take it. Yeah, she's trying to feed three three babies. As if buying the items the lady took wasn't enough, the nice cop paid for some extra food for her three kids and drove her back home. The officer's mercy made a huge difference for her kids that day. And speaking of officers who protect children, here's an officer who takes his job seriously. >> I don't believe this is a laughing matter. That's just not funny. >> That cop wasn't just a stickler for the rules. He was also the concerned father of the tiny suspect. This means that if there were any infractions, she would face a major timeout. >> License, registration, proof, insurance, please. I don't believe this is a laughing matter. This is not funny. >> Bye-bye. >> Bye-bye. >> Lucky for her, she was let off easy with a simple warning and a bye-bye. But I can't say the same about the next girl who got caught over speeding. and face the way. >> Okay, >> young lady. [Laughter] >> Oh, he's fine. Don't worry about him. You know how fast you're going back there? >> You do? How fast are you going? Huh? >> What? >> You didn't stop. Did you have both hands on the steering wheel? >> Yeah. >> Do you have a driver's license? You do? Oh, okay. Well, no, no problem. That's a nice car. Where'd you get that? >> Oh, you got your hand right here. Put your hand up. There you go. Yeah. What What are we doing here? >> You got insurance? Yeah. Can you spell insurance? >> Yeah. You want to be careful, okay? Unless you get any trouble. All right. >> Poor kid. Not even 10 years old, and she's already getting on the wrong side of the law. Like those officers who kept toddlers safe from the road, the next officers tried to protect a kitten from hitting the road. >> I can get that cat down. Hold this blanket. Hold it out wide. Now you let that cat fall. That's your fault. All right. Now, come my way a little bit. >> Trying to shake it. >> Yeah. Come my way just >> just for a second so I can get a hold of this. >> All right. You ready? >> Yeah. Come on down, cat. My way a little bit. Come on, cat. >> Got it. >> Come on. >> What you know about that? >> Good. >> We got that cat. >> It's raining cats. Well, it's raining a cat. But luckily, some quick-thinking cops and a blanket were there to make sure it gets home safe. The same way this officer was trying to ensure the driver got home safely, even if it meant putting himself in the line of fire. >> Yes, sir. Somewhere in New Mexico, a routine DUI stop suddenly turned into a game of survival. Officer Michael Smith had just pulled over 24year-old Espironza Pier Bob for endangering her life and that of other road users. Naturally, the officer had to check if she was fit to be on the road. >> So, your hands at your side for the whole thing, Espan. Are you all done? >> That was nine steps, sir. Yes. >> So, how much did you have to drink today? >> I let you know I did not have anything to drink. I have been with people who have been drinking, vomiting, doing the whole nine yards. I do have my medical card. >> Um, and I I do smoked about three and a half hours ago. Okay. >> Um, and that is that is all I do have to tell you this evening. >> So, I've done this a lot. Okay. I can still smell alcoholic beverage coming from you. Okay. >> Based off of what we've done so far, I still believe that you have drank tonight. Okay. And that's why we're doing this. So, we still have to finish this part. It's part of it. Okay. >> But before they could finish the field sobriety test, they started dodging bullets. Without hesitation, Officer Smith jumped in to make sure Esparanza was safe. >> Okay. Yes, sir. >> Come on. Let's get >> Yes, sir. Thank you. Okay, let's put on Let me get you a stand up and come this way. >> After several ten seconds, the gunfire stopped. Esparanza had to return to the sobriety test. Sadly, she failed the test and was placed under arrest by the same professional officer who made sure she was safe. She would be grateful she made it out alive.
