COWLEY COUNTY—The Arkansas City Police Department recognized the outstanding work and bravery of Master Police Officer Shannese McIntosh Thursday.
According to a social media report from the police department, on November 12, officers were dispatched to a call involving an unresponsive 6-week-old baby who wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. Upon arriving, MPO McIntosh immediately took action, performing CPR and giving the infant every possible chance.
The baby was transported to South Central Kansas Medical Center and later flown to Wichita for additional care. On Thursday, the police department shared that baby Nova Raie is doing great.
Nova Raie and her mother even stopped by the department to visit MPO McIntosh after she was released from the hospital — a moment that meant a great deal to all at the Arkansas City Police Department.
"Please join us in commending Master Police Officer McIntosh for her quick response, skill, and compassion. Her actions made a profound difference, and we are incredibly proud to have her on our team."
