The officers notified the Emergency Service Section and Babylon Highway Department.
Responding highway department employees removed the grate from the top of the drain and Emergency Service Section Officer James Brucculeri climbed into the drain and rescued the six ducklings, police said.
The ducklings were reunited with their mother and went about their day.
