SU Police officer recognized for saving child’s life

SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University Police Department recently honored Private First Class Shane Baker with its Life-Saving award for saving a child’s life while on vacation.

While at a pool, Baker saw a father attending to a child who appeared to be choking. At one point, he noted the kid started turning blue, so Baker stepped in to help, giving instructions and ultimately delivering back blows and first aid that cleared her airway.

The child’s family later expressed their appreciation on Facebook, saying if it weren’t for Baker, the outcome for their family could have been the unthinkable.
