Recently I attended a special ceremony presented by the local Crime Watch program called, Chief for a Day.
The program recognizes "special needs" children and are partnered with a member of local law enforcement agencies and get to participate in a number of events. They receive a uniform, a badge, and get sworn in as a, Chief for a Day. You can view more photos of this event HERE
My great-nephew was one of the kids nominated (by his Aunt Shelby) and chosen for this years event.
Here are a few picture that I took at the first event.

What a wonderful thing to do! And he looks so adorable in his uniform. Something he will probably remember all of his life.
