It's nice to hear a story like this; a thoughtful, level headed dispatcher helping in a time of need. Thank God it wasn't K.H. working or she would have been more concerned with looking at her "modeling pictures" and unable to think of the situation at hand.

I am so glad the mother and baby are doing well. Congratulations to the family on their new bundle of joy and kudos to the father for staying calm. Thanks, KKTV, for sharing this story. Police contact with the public isn't always under the best circumstances since frequently we deal with people as either an unfortunate victim or as an offender. It is a real pleasure to be able to serve the public in a positive way like this. These dispatchers are a great group of people. Thank you so very much KKTV for airing this story!
