Heroic Officers Reunite With Grateful Parents and Newborn After Emergency Delivery
Two New Jersey police officers have been reunited with two very grateful parents and their new baby after an impromptu delivery at the couple’s home.
Patrolling Cranford officers, Thomas Bell and James Knight met expecting parents Gina and Noberto Chaves on the morning of Dec. 20, 2020, when they responded to a 911 call from the Chaveses’ home address. Gina’s water had suddenly broken and the baby was already crowning.
Bell, a 21-year veteran of the force, quickly ascertained the situation and made an on-the-spot call to help deliver the baby right there, according to a Facebook post by the Cranford Police Department.
