5-year-old thanks Jackson County officers with gift cards

SEYMOUR, Ind. (WISH) – Two police officers were given a special treat from a 5-year-old boy on Wednesday evening.

The two officers from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department were eating dinner at a local Burger King in Seymour when the boy and his mother came up to them and thanked them for their service. The boy handed them gift cards.

The boy also told the officers that he someday wanted to be a policeman. One of the officers who reached out to 24-Hour News 8 said the “little guy made his night.”
