The California mom gave birth at the parking lot
According to the police, the father of the baby was frantically looking for help when he approached the police officers.
Chief of the Stockton Police Department, Eric Jones, shared that the two police officers that the father-to-be asked were on duty that day. He said, "A couple in a car stopped and told officers that they were in labor."
Apparently, the couple was looking for a nearby hospital. However, the baby boy was a little too excited that he had to be delivered at the Stockton Police Department's parking lot.
Police officers assist in delivering the baby
The mom gave birth while she was in the front seat. The two police officers assisted in the delivery. Jones believes that everything was timely since the two officers were trained medics. The chief said, "They've been medics for years, and they had never delivered a baby before in that career, and here they become police officers."
An ambulance was also called by the police officers.
The police officers will be nominated for awards
Because the two police officers were quick on their feet the chief of Stockton Police Department plans to nominate them for an award. The department is set to have departmental awards given away.
