Kaleb Blevins has always wanted to be a police man for as long as he can remember.

Blevins, 10, suffers from cancer, so Lansing Mayor Andy Schor and Police Chief Ellery Sosebee and several police officers went to Blevins school recently to give him a surprise and make his wish come true.

“We had the honor of swearing in 10-year-old Kaleb as an honorary LPD officer.
Our officers first met Kaleb at our Shop with a Cop event, and they instantly took a liking to him. Unfortunately, Kaleb has been diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. It turns out that his dream is to one day be a police officer, so we knew we had to make it happen,” Lansing Police Department said on Facebook.
