Officer Paul Munding of Clarkstown Police Department was at a birthday party over the weekend when he saved 4-year-old Ella from drowning.
The little girl was on the pool steps when a doll in the pool caught her eyes.
She tried to get it, but couldn't swim.
Officer Munding had just met the little girl's parents a few minutes earlier and didn't hesitate for a second.
He jumped in fully clothed and pulled her to safety.
