EVESHAM, N.J. — A 4-year-old boy’s dream of becoming a police officer came true thanks to his friends at the police department.
Chase Gilchrist’s family asked if he could come tour the department, WPVI reported. But he received a lot more than just a visit.
When Chase showed up Thursday, he was given his own uniform, police ID and patrol car before he was sworn in as an honorary officer.
“So now that he’s got the official shirt on and the official police car, he’s going to go nuts. He’s loving it,” Chase’s father Scott told WPVI.
After receiving a tour of the station and a ride on the police ATV, Chase and his two brothers were treated to a K-9 demonstration.
“This is my best, best day here and the airport show was my second best day,” Chase said.
Chase is currently in remission, but the type of cancer he has limits his life expectancy.
“To be able to give somebody their dream is an amazing feeling. Many little kids want to be a police officers. This one truly has it in his heart,” Lt. Ron Ritter said.
