A month later, on Dec. 30, Officer Hubli responded to a report of a one-year-old who had stopped breathing and was turning purple. The child had no pulse when Hubli arrived. After two cycles of CPR, the child began to breathe, cough, and open her eyes.

Then, on Jan. 11, Officer Burgos-Gutierrez responded to a teenager in cardiac arrest. The teen’s mother had started CPR before officers arrived. Burgos-Gutierrez took over compressions, and after about 30, the teen began to breathe on his own.
