Honorary Junior Policeman Case Williams of Teague has accomplished big things for his local police department this summer.
Concerned by news reports of violence against police officers, four-year old Case, the son of Jamie West, wanted to do something to show his support for the men and women in blue.
With a little help from grandmother, Debbie Sanoja, owner of the Cubs Den in downtown Teague, Case began selling lemonade and snow cones to raise money for the police department.
To date, Case has raised $2,500, which he officially presented to Chief of Police Dan Ramsey and Mayor Earnest Pack at the August 15th Council meeting.
Case had only one request, that the money be used to purchase a narcotics dog that would help keep his new friends in uniform safe.
Chief Ramsey shared that the Department is currently looking at three female Labradors to fill the position. Junior Officer Case will have the honor of naming the City’s new K-9 officer.
“That is remarkable!” exclaimed Alderman Chris Nickelberry. “I want to thank his parents and grandparents, too. That is touching.”
“Thank you once again, little Case!”
