FLINT, Mich. — A mother-son duo were sworn-in as the newest officers of the Flint Police Department.

ABC 12 reported Maria Reed applied for the academy and her son, Dion, soon followed. Both always wanted to be police officers and pursued their dreams, despite some jokes from fellow colleagues.

“They make a lot a jokes, like the only reason I’m at the academy is because she can’t find a babysitter,” Dion told the publication.

They will continue training this week and hit the streets Sunday, just in time for the holiday.
