Wannabe police recruit gets tour of station to celebrate fourth birthday
A four-year-old boy who dreams of being a police officer joined officers for a shift to celebrate his birthday.
Lewis Jones joined West Midlands Police's neighbourhood team at Bloxwich Police Station to mark his special day.
The future recruit was dressed for the occasion as he arrived in uniform, met officers and learned about the role of an officer.
He was shown how to handcuff someone, sat in a police car, and stood in a cage in a police van.
Joe Aitchison, CID investigation officer at Walsall LPA, said: “It was lovely to meet Lewis and his mum Hayley.
"He was so enthusiastic about coming to Bloxwich Police Station to meet officers. I remember just being like him as a youngster, always with a desire to join the police.
"Let’s hope he goes on to fulfil his dreams and join us when he is older.”
Lewis's mum Hayley Jones said: “Thank you so much, he loved every moment of it. Definitely a birthday he won’t forget in a hurry.”
