Deputy Tricia Bourne,

 

On December 25, 2015, while on routine patrol, Deputy Tricia Bourne heard fellow Deputy Ty Dailey notify dispatch that he had been flagged down at the intersection of Deans Bridge Rd and Meadowbrook drive by a motorist in reference to his wife being in labor and worried that they would not make it to the hospital in time. Deputy Tricia Bourne was in the area and headed that way to offer assistance if needed. Upon arrival, Deputy Bourne found Mrs. Brittney Terry in the front seat of the vehicle in active labor and the babies’ head crowning. As Deputy Ty Dailey relayed information to dispatch, Deputy Bourne assisted Mrs. Terry with the birth of her son. Shortly after the baby was delivered EMS and the fire department arrived on scene. At this time Deputy Tricia Bourne placed the newborn on his mother's chest and turned the care of the infant and his mother over to EMS. Deputy Tricia Bourne also visited the hospital the next day to check on the mother and the child.

 

I would like to Commend Deputy Tricia Bourne for her fast thinking and desire to help someone in need. Because of her actions a mother delivered a healthy child without any complications to mother or child.
