SOURCE JAMAICA GLEANER: An early morning response to a call from the police emergency control patrol took an unexpected turn for Constable Denton Brown when he found himself delivering a baby girl in the back seat of a service car on Monday morning.<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never imagined I’d be doing something like this while on duty,\u201d said the 24-year-old, who went to assist the first-time mother with his colleague, District Constable Garey Murphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut when the situation presented itself, I just did what I had to do. It was emotional and rewarding all at once.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The heart-warming occurrence has since sparked widespread community admiration for both officers, especially for Brown, who, though shocked, sprang into action to deliver Baby Tokoyo.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs police officers, we assist in any way that we can\u2014any citizen of Jamaica. That is our job. We are here to serve, protect, and reassure, and what we did is part of our community-based policing, to interact with people and to assist them,\u201d Brown said with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The constable, who is stationed at the Bog Walk Police Station in St Catherine, recounted that he and District Constable Murphy were on night duty when they responded to a call at around 1:35 a.m. to assist a pregnant woman in labour in the community of Swamp Town, who needed help with transportation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When they arrived at the location, the pregnant woman was already in labour and experiencing excruciating pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we assisted her to lie on her back in the service vehicle. She was in so much pain, and the other family members were rushing to gather her things to put in the vehicle to take her to the hospital.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen she lay on her back, I saw the baby’s head coming. I had no choice but to put down the weapon I had in my hand and assist her. The baby came out into my hands.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo be honest, I was shocked\u2014it was my first experience in this area\u2014so I just held the baby properly so that I didn’t drop her, then I gave her to the mother,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That morning, all that was on his mind was getting the mother safely and quickly to the hospital, Brown shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut you know our job is critical, and it is to assist in the best ways that we can,\u201d the constable said.
Brown, who is an expectant father, said that during the incident, his mind flashed to the mother of his unborn child, and he thought that if a similar situation were to happen, he would be able to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the officer, when he and his colleague took the mother to the hospital, the nurses there were very happy, though equally shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both mother and baby, who have since been discharged, are doing well.
Aneica Castle and her mother, Nicole Webley, were in a very gracious mood when contacted and heaped praise on both officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey deserve an award,\u201d both women echoed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe did very well, very nice police\u2014made me feel comfortable. Both of them are nice officers,\u201d they shared.
Castle said she was scared that the baby was going to fall but will be forever grateful that they had a safe delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jubilant mother said she asked Brown to be her child’s godfather, and that he has accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webley, for her part, emphasised that the police were extremely kind to her daughter and thanked them immensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are good police, but those two officers come in like God made them from above, they are so nice, because if them never there maybe the baby would a pass away. You have to say a him save the baby, because she wouldn’t know wah fi do and me wouldn’t know wah to do,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webley said both officers should be considered for a national award.<\/p>\n
