CLEARWATER, Fla. — When Tiffany Barnaky called the Clearwater Police Department two weeks ago to invite an officer to her son’s birthday party, she never imagined how many cops would show up.
“He [the PIO] said, as long as the world behaves itself, someone would come by,” Barnaky told ABC News. “Four officers were able to come by. We were completely blown away.”
Barnaky said her son, Brody, has admired police since last year, and any time he meets one, he shows photos of his policeman Halloween costume.

The officers showed up to surprise Brody at his police-themed party, gifting him with a police flag and an “Officer Brody” shirt.
“They were the nicest men. They were so good with the kids,” Barnaky said. “They took them out to the cars, hugged [Brody], they compared muscles, they were absolutely the sweetest officers. The fact that they all wanted to come and do that was just amazing.”
The officers let Brody use the PA system and gave him a tour of their patrol cars.
“I think that’s why he’s fallen in love with them,” she said. “The importance of their job to protect the community is what we’re showing him. That’s why he wants to be a police officer.”
