Osicka performed CPR, enabling the child to breathe independently before EMS arrived.
The incident highlighted the importance of CPR training, prompting the police division to undergo refresher training.
“Without hesitation, Officer Osicka began CPR to provide the essential circulation and oxygen needed to sustain her life. Within seconds, the child began to breathe independently but abruptly stopped breathing again,” the Ashland Police Division wrote.
