CHICAGO – A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment — patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday.


:crazy:

OMG! ​

Wow! All I can say is if a 14 year old can dupe the Cops he should be allowed to join the force when he is of age.

On a scary note, thankfully this was just a child and not worse.

Oh for heavens sake!!!!!!!! LOL, Its funny, in a backwards sort of way, Im glad they caught up with him tho.

Lol! I hope the boy stays on the right side of the law because he could probably be a very good crook should he decide to go that way.

Wow.. txsvicki, i completely agree! They need to keep him on the right side of the law, we've all seen what the wrong side can do. The program the boy was involved in may be the only thing he's got going in his life, for all we know. Sometimes it's a fine line between the wrong and right side of the law and if they can save this boy from crossing it, by all means they should. He obviously blended in really well to be able to patrol 5 hours without anything looking amiss.

Wow, I would hate to have to rely on those cops.

I wonder if they have some sort of junior explorers program where he is. I understand this boy broke the law, but there are much worse ways a 14 yr old can break the law. They need to foster his interest in LE and keep him on the right track.

Well it very good he wasn't hurt. I am surprised he wasn't caught earlier than five hours though. People mature different ways one of my schoolmates had a full beard and beginning of a bald spot by 16 while I looked like a teenager up until age 30 and started growing a patchy goatee.
