FAIRVIEW PARK- A Fairview Park woman is sharing her gratitude towards a Fairview Park officer who was there for her son during a special school event.

Jayden was so happy, he told his mom he felt like crying. Officer Reyes has been part of the Fairview Park Police Department for four years.
Lt. Shepard with the Fairview Park Police Department told FOX 8 News, “This is a way we give back to the community. We are honored we were asked to help and it is a privilege to do it.”
What a special day for a very special young boy.
