MEDFIELD, Mass. - BostonChron -- Law enforcement vehicles throughout America carry an AED for cardiac arrest, Narcan for overdose, Oxygen for respiratory distress, and a trauma kit for injuries. None of them carry anything for emergency childbirth – one of the most unpredictable emergencies officers face.

CORE4 Products is changing that with the Emergency Birth Kit, the first single-use childbirth kit (Patent Pending) designed specifically for law enforcement and public safety personnel with no medical training.

The kit was unveiled at the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association Annual Conference on April 8, 2026 – the first product of its kind to address a crucial gap that has existed in first responder readiness for decades.

"Childbirth doesn't wait for EMS to arrive," says Paul DeLuca, Founder and CEO. "Across the country, officers respond first to thousands of unexpected labor emergencies – alone and unprepared. They often find themselves in remote areas with limited access to medical facilities and long EMS response times.

"The bottom line is this – with little-to-no training and without proper medical equipment, these emergencies place the officer, mother and newborn in a high-risk situation," says DeLuca.

Purpose-built for law enforcement vehicles

The Emergency Birth Kit was designed for the operational realities of a patrol vehicle: it is a compact and ready-to-deploy solution containing essential sterile OB supplies. It enables officers to help prepare and manage an emergency childbirth situation until EMS arrives – or assist with delivery if EMS is unavailable.

One Emergency Birth Kit per vehicle transforms a fleet into a maternal emergency safety net, standardizing response, reducing improvisation and minimizing preventable issues.

The Emergency Birth Kit was built for:

• State Police & Highway Patrol
• Municipal & County Police
• Sheriff's Agencies
• Transit Police and Park Police
• Fire and Emergency Management agencies

Closing a documented gap in emergency readiness

Since law enforcement vehicles carry standardized medical equipment for trauma, cardiac arrest, respiratory distress and opioid overdose – why not childbirth?

The Emergency Birth Kit closes that gap. It is a low-cost, high-impact decision that:

• Supports accreditation and operational readiness standards
• Demonstrates visible commitment to community safety.

"Leadership knows it is their responsibility to provide their officers with every tool needed for any circumstance," said DeLuca. "The Emergency Birth Kit is exactly that — a necessary solution to a problem that has gone unaddressed for far too long."

The Emergency Birth Kit is available for individual agency purchase, fleet deployment and statewide procurement programs. We are actively partnering with law enforcement agencies and public safety leaders to support training, implementation and community readiness initiatives.
