JACKSONVILLE, NC (WCTI) — An Onslow County girl spent her fifth birthday at the sheriff’s office, not in handcuffs but with a big smile on her little face.
Officials say Emma’s mom called the office, asking if she could bring the girl in to visit on her birthday because she wants to be a police officer when she grows up and wanted to meet some of the deputies.
Emma’s surprise included a gift of police-related items from Captain S. Rowe of the SRO/COPs Unit and a Happy Birthday serenade from deputies and Sheriff Hans Miller.
Administrative Assistant to the Sheriff Cindy Bell said Emma was very excited and her mom was appreciative of everyone that made her daughter feel so special.
