ARLINGTON, Mass. — Arlington police officer Brandon Kindle probably didn’t expect to be playing the role of doctor during his early-morning patrol on Wednesday, May 1, but through proper training and a calm demeanor, Kindle was able to safely assist in the delivery of a healthy baby girl.

Kindle was on patrol when he received a 911 call about a woman going into labor shortly before 5:30 a.m. At the time Kindle was only about a block a way from the home of Audra and Ed McKinnon on College Avenue and he arrived first on the scene.

“I got there and the grandmother was standing outside the front door waving me in,” Kindle said. “Normally the EMTs or Fire Department would handle a situation like this, but I just happened to be there first.”
