A chilling incident in Vermont saw a local state police officer dive into frosty waters to save an 8-year-old child who was at the brink of drowning. Captured on video, the rescue act carried out by Trooper Michelle Archer was released to the public by the Vermont State Police on a Friday, subsequent to the occurrence on December 17th. Archer later relayed the incident to the Vermont News First, a community media outlet.

The child, alongside a sibling, had been near or directly on the frozen surface of a privately owned pond in their residential vicinity when suddenly, the ice failed them. Not far away, an elderly neighbour, lacking the ability to swim, had managed to secure the sibling from the icy grip of the water, just moments before Archer appeared on the scene.

Calling upon the tools of her trade, Archer made use of a flotation device stowed away in the trunk of her patrol car. She wielded the device to haul the child out of the frigid waters and onto the snowy bank at the water's edge.

Once the child had been brought onto dry land, faint sounds could be heard emanating from her. These subtle yet significant signs of life caught the attention of Archer and her police comrades, indicating that the child was, albeit barely, still amongst the living.
