Constables Jacob Pennisi and Philippe Stigner were arriving back at their station in Deception Bay when Nathaniel Pedler emerged and flagged them down, as his wife Julie was in the “late stages” of labour.

The couple had pulled into the police station when they realised there was not enough time to make it to the hospital.

Constable Stigner had phoned 000, and Julie gave birth to her son, Blake, within five minutes.

"The call operator asked us to get a towel to wrap up the baby and to keep both mum and baby warm," Constable Pennisi 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 call out is unique."

Two months after Blake’s unconventional arrival, the family returned to Deception Bay police station to thank the officers for their help.

Julie told Queensland Police that she was “caught off-guard” by Blake’s speeding arrival.

"It was all very quick on the day, it was nice to have the help of the police," she said.
