Baltimore aviation police officers Andre Smith Jr. and Craig Hoover have seen it all from Baltimore's skies, from house fires, to stolen cars, robberies and more. As part of BPD's aviation unit or Foxtrot, they spend hours patrolling the city airborne every day. But on Saturday night, they found themselves on the ground. "I'm going to put the helicopter down this guy looks like he's not breathing. He's not moving, he's in cardiac arrest," Smith can be heard telling dispatch in a video released by the department Wednesday afternoon. A drowning victim had been reported at the Walter P. Carter pool in North Baltimore. No bystanders who had helped rescue the man from the water knew CPR. Meanwhile, the closest units on the ground were several minutes away responding to a fight on Falls Road when the call came in. Smith knew that in a case like this, every second counts. #baltimorepolice #rescue #baltimore #news
