Police escorts?

Question

Do police really escort people driving pregnant women to the hospital?

Answer 1

This is totally dependant on the individual departments policy but the norm is to dispatch ambulance in order to reduce department liability.

Answer 2

Not in Ontario, Canada. If you're pulled over for speeding and there is any kind of a medical emergency, they call for an ambulance. I would assume this would be the standard in most places.

Answer 3

Not unless they know that the car that is being driven has a pregnant woman in it and is headed to a hospital.  They would have to be called by the pregnant woman.  And if the woman has enough time to wait for a police officer to show up they would send an ambulance instead
