A toddler cop
Stone Hicks is a courageous four-year-old battling kidney disease. Recently, he experienced a day like no other when he joined the ranks of the Orlando Police Department (OPD).
This event was made possible through a collaboration between the department and Northern and Central Florida Make-A-Wish, fulfilling Stone's lifelong dream of becoming a police officer.
Stone's extraordinary day is shown unfolding in videos shared by the OPD.
This includes the moment OPD Chief Eric Smith warmly welcomed him and presented him with his own miniature uniform and the thrilling adventures he embarked on alongside his colleagues.
Throughout the day, Stone and his team tackled exciting cases, including the heartwarming rescue of a pretend victim's missing puppy which had been 'kidnapped' by a dog-napper.
Amidst the action, Stone also found time to meet his beloved "Paw Patrol" friends and take a ride in his pint-sized police car.
