Sergeant Steven Dearth was having dinner at a Massachusetts Panera, when a little girl named Lillian, came up to him while she was having dinner with her family.
Sgt. Dearth gave four-year-old a high five and a Junior Police Officer sticker before sitting down to eat dinner. Then the little girl came and sat down with him, to get to know her new buddy better, all under the watchful eye of her nearby parents.
“She asked if I had a police car and toward the end of the dinner she said, 'We should have a playdate in a few days.'" Dearth says. "The whole time she never turned around to look at her parents. It was amazing to see a child that was that comfortable around a uniform police officer."
