Police Officer Saves Baby Who Stopped Breathing

 June 13, 2023

When you first your baby home from the hospital, you worry about every cough, sneeze, hiccup, and how much they are eating. Other times you worry if their fussiness may mean something more.

For one Pennsylvania couple it did.

Hospital Bound

According to WPDE, a Pleasant Hills couple was concerned about how fussy their 9-day-old daughter was and decided it was time to take her to the hospital. Joe Schleicher and his wife were well on their way when his wife realized that something was not quite right.

Schleicher said, "She said she's not breathing. She's not breathing. I have to get her out of the car seat, and we were sitting at a red light at that point.” 

That's when they looked over and saw Pleasant Hills Officer Kristin Mitrisin in her car a couple cars up from them.

Flagged Down For Help

According to WTAE, Mitrisin was on her way to McKees Rocks facility with drugs she had collected during a drug take-back event with her department.

"I heard beeping nest to me. I looked over to the side. I saw a gentleman waving in his car. I put down my window, and I asked him, 'Sir do you need help with something?' He said, 'yes, I need you to get me to the hospital. My baby is not breathing.'"

Officer Kristin Mitrisin

Mitrisin had to process what Schleicher had just told her. She repeated it back to him to make sure she heard him correctly. When he confirmed she heard him correctly, she had him pull over immediately so she could assist.

Truck Bed CPR

Mitrisin had him pull into a lot that was along the Saw Mill Run Boulevard. She put the tailgate down on the police pickup truck that she was only driving to transport the boxes.

Schleicher said he put his babies life in the officers hands. Mitrisin began to perform CPR on the little one.

"The baby finally took a gasp for air after about a minute of CPR," said Mitrisin. Even though paramedics were on their way, Mitrisin knew she could get the baby to the ER faster.

It took her 20 seconds to get there, and she ran baby Olivia into the doctors. It turns out baby Olivia has a heart condition.

Officer Mitrisin was definitely in the right place at the right time.

  1. Another truly heroic story of an officer “just” doing what they do. God bless the men and women in blue and all the people who serve. Thank you for all you do. Millions of us support you - please ignore the noise from the clowns!

  2. This is only one reason that we have dedicated Police Officers. We should thank them for their servir to the people of the US each & every day.

    THANK YOU OFFICER MITRISIN for saving this baby.

  3. What a great story. So many people are helped by the police and yet all we hear are stories of how awful they are. It's a sickness; mostly from criminals and those who try to twist the truth.

  4. A good reason we need more police officers, not less as the left advocate. Thank you to this caring officer for her quick action. She just shows why many on the left are full of it for wanting to defund the police. The police are there to protect the populace and do a darn good job in spite of what the thugs think.

    1. GOD BLESS all our police officers.........

      The MEDIA never put all the good things on TV that our POLICE do every day..........The Media have turned out to be liars and terrorists........They are the ones that are destroying our USA, just like the DEMS/RINOS......

  5. That baby could have died *if* the police were de-funded! Thank the Lord for her service and for the life of this baby. I support Police, First Responders, Nurses, and everybody in health care and/or transportation of sick and ill.

  6. That was so smart that you know what you SS need in that Minute to save the child’s life you are a hero in my eyes may God bless you and keep you safe

  7. Good Job Officer Kristin Mitrisin, may I make a point here. EVERY person should take a CPR course because you never know when you might be in the position to save a life or someone may be in a Position to Save YOUR life. I have taken a couple of courses over the years but I should take a refresher course because I know that some things have changed.

  8. When ever I hear some idiot say that we do not need police, I will refer them to this story. What a great story!

  10. Thank goodness this wonderful officer had not been defunded! God's blessings on her and the family she helped. This story could have been very different had officer Mitrisin not been there. And l pray for a wonderful life for Olivia!
