She noticed that the police officers were sitting just a few tables away from where she was sitting and that's when she ran to them for help. The police officers did not delay helping the worried mom. They all quickly jumped up and Officer Mayer grabbed Charlotte.

With the help of Officer Ramos, one his fellow officers, he flipped her around and gave her a few pats on her back. The piece of apple that was choking Charlotte came right up and she started to cry. Her mom was so thankful because she knew that meant her baby girl was going to be just fine.

All of the officers have daughters of their own, so they didn’t hesitate to help save Charlotte's life. Officer Mayer says that he did exactly what he would want anyone to do for his daughter if she was in need. What a memorable first day on the job!
