A family has reunited with the two police officers who helped bring their son into the word to thank them for their service.
Queensland Police Service (QPS) constables Jacob Pennisi and Philippe Stigner were returning to their station after attending morning callouts around on the morning of March 1, when Nathaniel Pedler flagged them down from across the carpark to help his wife, Julie.
Officers realised that Julie was in the late stages of her labour.

Stigner jumped into action to assist with the birth, helping relay important instructions from a 000 call operator who coached them through the process.
Less than five minutes later, baby Blake entered the world.

Constable Pennisi said he felt an immediate sense of relief when he heard the baby’s first cries.
“The call operator asked us to get a towel to wrap up the baby and to keep both mum and baby warm,” he said.
“We found a towel in the back of the car, wrapped the baby up and the paramedics came about five minutes later.
“It all happened very fast. We definitely didn’t expect to be involved with a birth that day, but that’s the thing about this job: every day is different, every callout is unique.”
The Pedler family recently returned to the Deception Bay Police Station to thank the officers who helped bring their son safely into the world.

Julie said she was caught off guard by the speed of her labour and wanted to thank police for their calm support.
“It was all very quick on the day, it was nice to have the help of the police,” she said.
QPS wished Julie an extra special Mother’s Day, filled with lots of newborn baby cuddles and smiles.
