CLEARWATER, Fla. — A Clearwater police officer is being praised for his swift actions after locating a missing 8-year-old autistic, non-verbal girl near the beach, the department announced on Instagram.

Officer Billups responded to the urgent call and learned that the child, who did not know how to swim, had wandered from her family. After an extensive search, he found her hidden among rocks in the water behind a hotel near a construction site.

Billups safely removed her from the area and reunited her with her family.

“We’re grateful for his quick response and dedication to keeping our community safe,” the department wrote.
