Newark Emergency Services Officers Safely Deliver Newborn in Early Morning First Responder Assist

Police Officer and Former EMT Removed Cord from Baby’s Neck
 
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé announces that Emergency Services Officers of the Newark Police Special Operations Division, Prince Rankin and Eric Paro, assisted in the delivery of a newborn this morning.
 
“I commend Officers Rankin and Paro for being hands-on in facilitating the safe delivery of this Newark family’s new addition,” Director Fragé said. “People often think of the Emergency Services Unit as springing into action only during high-risk law enforcement incidents involving rescuing hostages or extracting barricaded persons. But I am honored to report that the Newark Emergency Services Police are also deployed to assist in bringing about happy outcomes, like this one,” he added.
