Hero cop save the lives of two choking babies in less than a month

NYPD When New Yorkers sign up to become police officers, one of the most common reasons for taking the oath is a desire to help people and save lives. NYPD Officer Freddy Cerpa can say he has achieved that goal twice over, all in a matter of weeks. Cerpa is not being hailed as a hero because he had to draw his service weapon and fight off danger, but instead because of the way he remained calm during a life-or-death situation and saved the lives of two babies.
