Body cam released of Sandusky officer saving the life of 3-week-old infant
Sandusky Officer Evan Estep was credited with saving the life of the six-week-old baby after responding to an emergency call on July 18.
In the emotional video Officer Estep calmly starts doing CPR and reassures the mother of the infant after the baby gasps twice.
The Sandusky officer continued CPR until the fire department arrived and handed the infant over to paramedics.
Estep gets the mother into the ambulance and then heads to the hospital himself.
Officer Estep was singled out on social media by Sandusky Chief of Police John Orzech for doing a great job.
Orzech credited the re-certification courses that the police department takes at Firelands Medical Center for preparing his officers for tough calls like this one.
Officers with the Sandusky Police Department take re-certification courses for CPR every two years through Firelands Regional Medical Center.
Officers had a refresher course earlier this year.
The infant was transported to Firelands Regional Medical Center by the Sandusky Fire Department.{{file|t=s6Dl8_1563814301}}
