In 2017, five Oak Bluffs police families each welcomed a new baby, within the span of five months.

It’s business as usual on Friday morning at the Oak Bluffs police station except for the five toddlers roaming around the station’s front steps.

Two years ago five Oak Bluffs police officer families gave birth to five babies in five months.

Last year officers in the Oak Bluffs department had a baby a month from March to May, and then two arrived in July. Now they are toddlers.

Five babies in five months for four Oak Bluffs police officers and one state trooper. “I guess the stars aligned,” said Officer James Hagerty.
