New York police officers help a woman give birth at her Long Island home
A group of police officers who helped deliver a baby at a Long Island home over the weekend included a sergeant who helped another newborn take her first breath five years ago.
This time Suffolk County Sgt. Jon-Erik Negron joined officers Conor Diemer, Jadin Rodriguez and Zachary Vormittag after a woman gave birth at her home in Shirley on Saturday.
The woman gave birth to a boy about 15 minutes after calling 911, police said. An ambulance arrived shortly after the birth, and the baby and mother were taken to hospital in good health.

In August 2017, Negron responded when another baby unexpectedly arrived at a home on Mount Sinai. Due to a complication, the baby was not breathing when Negron arrived. He sucked fluid from the infant’s airways with a turkey baster or similar from the parent’s kitchen, and the boy began to breathe.

The grateful parents asked Negron to be the child’s godfather, and he agreed. The boy’s father, Mike Pappalardo, told Newsday that the sergeant celebrates birthdays and holidays with the family.
Negron, 37, has no children himself, but has also witnessed other births over the course of his career, according to Newsday.
