DJ was diagnosed with terminal brain and spine cancer when he was just 6 years old.
Despite undergoing 13 surgeries, the Texas boy’s determination to become a police officer has never wavered. In 2019, he was first sworn in as an officer by the Brookshire Police Department in Texas.
When he was initially given five months to live, he set a goal of being sworn in by 100 police departments.
Since then, he has been sworn in by 926 Law Enforcement Agencies across the U.S. and beyond, including recently with Gilmer PD and other Upshur County (TX) Law enforcement.
