Check out the story of two lives that were saved by Officer Nathan Harper, singer and songwriter from the musical short film, DISARMED

Continuing to share the stories of officers who received awards at our ceremony June 29. Officer Nathan Harper received TWO Life-Saving Awards for events that occurred within weeks of each other last spring (we hadn't been able to have a ceremony for some time due to COVID capacity restrictions):

Officer Harper was initially dispatched to a disturbance on April 8, 2020, but then learned the incident was for a baby who may have drowned in a bathtub. He rushed to the home and found the father performing CPR on a 15-month-old who had been found lifeless in an overflowing bathtub.

This was amid the COVID-19 lockdown. Officer Harper removed his N-95 mask and took over mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. He continued this for about three minutes until EMS arrived. Even when they did, Officer Harper used his medical experience as a U.S. Navy Corpsman to assist paramedics by ventilating the baby with a bag-valve-mask until more EMS personnel could arrive.

Detectives later learned the baby was in the bathtub with her 3-year-old sibling, who turned on the water and filled the tub. It eventually leaked through to the basement two floors below, which alerted the father. They determined the baby was underwater for about 10 minutes. She now has many physical challenges to overcome, but she survived thanks in part to Officer Harper.

Then, Officer Harper put his experience as a Medical Specialist in the U.S. Navy to use once again when he got called to a Northland man who had used a blade to sever the radial artery on his left wrist on April 27, 2020.

Officer Harper exited his police car with a tourniquet and gauze in hand. The 52-year-old man’s mother told Officer Harper the man was in a back part of the basement, accessible only through the back entrance of the house. Officer Harper found the man there lying in a shower, unconscious, with blood pooled around him and the water still running.

Officer Harper applied a tourniquet and elevated the man’s arm. Then he used the gauze to apply pressure to the wound. He maintained the pressure while arriving medics started IV’s, then he helped them move the man onto a backboard.

One of the medics at the scene said, “The measures employed by P.O. Harper at the scene were a direct result in preventing the loss of life.”

The victim underwent surgery and was in stable condition afterward.

Our team has Michael B. Bay & Beau Flynn looking at the KC Film Community. Not for something outside the city, but for something inside the city. We got Navy SEALs from NYC coming in town wearing KC hats. We had Disney Execs on set engaging with our crew. That’s how good this community is & we’ve known it all along & have worked from day one to build industry right here. 🎥🎬

FaceKC’s mission:
to foster inclusion, peace, & unity among communities of all demographics using

When you catch the attention of one of your idols in the game, you have no choice but to keep pressing!

Michael Bay commented on a photo we took while in pre-production of our current project. It may not seem like much, but the little things like this are the fuel to keep pushing forward.
