A Commerce police officer is being recognized for his efforts in saving a 7-month old baby's life.

 According to Commerce Police Chief Ernie Shelby, Officer Donnell Ware responded to a call on Wednesday where the infant was not breathing. When Ware arrived on scene, the parents were standing on the front lawn of their home with the father holding the baby. Ware laid the baby on the ground and started CPR. Ware says the baby started to make noise and then started breathing. He says he was trained in infant CPR while in the U.S. Navy, but this was the first time he used his training on a real baby.

 The baby was taken to the hospital, and is already home.
