A woman and her daughter recorded the video on Thursday, as police say they received a call about a suspected shoplifter having a gun.
When police located the suspect's pick-up truck, several people came out of the truck - including a toddler.
At the sight of the toddler, the officers lowered their weapons and picked up the little girl.
Police believe the toddler's parents were in the group.
