A family is very thankful a Kansas City police detective was in the right place at the right time earlier this month. Detective Lauren Montgomery and Officer Brett Ussary were leaving University Health after conducting interviews when they encountered a family that needed immediate help.
Quick Response
On Tuesday, KCPD released a video showing Montgomery (gray jacket) administer back blows to the baby who was choking and not breathing. “The parents were frantic.” Officer Brett Ussary, meanwhile, rushed into University Health for help.
