Boy with Autism Becomes Honorary Police Officer


Alexander Sanchez has dreamed of becoming a police officer for most of his short life. The 4-year-old has been dressing as a police officer on a regular basis for 2 years, according to his aunt Ana Villegas. He was also diagnosed with autism at age 2. Villegas says dressing up makes Xander feel safe. His aunt takes care of him during the day while his mother is at work. Recently Xander got a wonderful surprise. He was invited to the San Diego Police Department station near his home. He then surprised the officers waiting to greet him when he showed up in full uniform and riding his miniature police motorcycle. His aunt says the visit left a real imprint on Xander. She says he even took home his own note pad and has been writing a lot of tickets. Watch a video of Xander greeting the officers below.
