"Are you having a baby," Officer Sierra asked the woman. "Yes, she is, oh my God."

"It happened so fast," Sierra told ABC 7. "Knowing that I was able to contribute in bringing a life to this world — I mean that alone is incomparable."
In another interview, Sierra described it as a call for duty they would never forget.
"We believed we would be confronted by a female possibly suffering from a mental crisis," Sierra said, noting "it was completely different."
"My immediate thought was, we need to take care of this baby and the mother," he recalled, noting they immediately "put our gloves on and got involved."
"Every day I come with a positive attitude and just be of service, that's all I can do," Sierra said.
