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.

Lifesaving Action

While Officer Ussary was seeking assistance, Detective Montgomery dislodged an object from the baby’s airway. This prompt action led to the baby gasping for air and crying, indicating a successful rescue.

“Great job, Detective Montgomery and Officer Ussary!” KCPD wrote in their post on the department’s social media page. This heroic act showcased the dedication and quick thinking of the officers in a critical moment.
