You Don't Have to Write a Comment to Tell Me. I Know I'm Going to Hell for This

Officer Shevy Wright of Chandler was fitted with a custom-made uniform to fit his 4 foot, 2 inch body, complete with handcuffs, a radio, a badge and a Taser gun.

He was given a locker at the main Chandler police station and a license plate with his badge number, CPD1018, for his future car.

Shevy’s wish is to become a police officer. After he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor in December, the Chandler Police Department rallied around this little boy to make his dream a reality. . . .

Shevy joined the ranks of the Chandler Police Department Wednesday morning after he took an oath of office from Chandler police Chief Sherry Kiyler. Chandler Mayor Boyd Dunn also read a special proclamation in his honor. . . .

Shevy spent the day doing various police activities. He ate a doughnut, took a ride in a helicopter and worked with the K-9 unit. He took a ride in a Special Assignment Unit van, went on a ride-along with an officer and practiced firing a gun in a Fire Arms Training Simulator.

After lunch, he rode with the Vice Squad, a tour of duty that saw him plant crack cocaine on a suspect and violate the city's No Touching rule in a local strip club.

He concluded his honor patrol with the Traffic Division, during which he pulled over a black driver for no reason at all, and when it was determined by the attending officers that the suspect was “mouthin' off,” Shevy got the opportunity to use his Taser. And he did.

"Greatest day of my life," the pint-sized patrol officer said. "Today, I know how it feels to be a hero."
