Pontiac Police Officer Tim Morton, a 10-year veteran, was only supposed to be assisting another officer when he arrived December 28th at the scene where a woman was slumped over her car's steering wheel. But he quickly assessed the situation and came to the conclusion that the victim was suffering from a diabetic coma. He found some oranges in the car, quickly peeled them and placed them underneath her upper lip against her gumline. In addition to policing, Officer Morton, who holds a doctorate degree, teaches Cultural Diversity at Wayne State University. Officer Clancy, a four-year veteran, and her partner Officer Dave Stone responded to a Pontiac home where a hysterical mother had called 911 screaming for "her baby". Infant Fernando Garcia was being clutched by his mother, without breathing and a pulse. Officer Clancy quickly began rescue breathing and revived the baby after a few quick breaths. By the time the baby arrived by ambulance at the Oakland Medical Center, he was sitting up and crying. Congratulations are in order for these fine officers!
