On Tuesday, September 17, Chief Jorge Cisneros, the Anaheim Police Department and Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire partnered together to make a young Anaheim boy’s dream of being a police officer come true. Abdul, 5, is battling leukemia, and loves all things police-related.
The City of Anaheim and surrounding communities had seen an increase in unkind activity. APD detectives had been hot on the suspect’s trail, but needed special assistance. Chief Cisneros believed he had found the perfect person to help in Officer Abdul.
The day’s events included:
-Swear-in in Chief Cisneros’ office at the Anaheim Police Department
-“Where is Linus’ Blanket?” at Knott’s Berry Farm
-“The Rescue of IncrediBear” at the Boogie Bump Attraction at John’s Incredible Pizza at the Buena Park Mall
-“The Chase from Home Plate” at Angel Stadium
-“Wild Wing Rescue and Capture the Bandit” at Honda Center
-Hero’s Welcome and Celebration Ceremony at Anaheim Police Department
