Nampa, Idaho – The Nampa Police Department recently welcomed a very special guest to their station. Jett, a young boy bravely battling cancer, visited the department with his great aunt Miriam in what turned out to be an uplifting and heartwarming experience for everyone involved.
Despite his limited energy, Jett eagerly explored the station and took particular interest in the tools and technology used by the department's Special Operations Group (S.O.G.) Tech Team. One highlight of Jett's visit was his excitement for their equipment, especially the team’s robot, which captured his imagination.
Officers and staff joined Jett for some light-hearted moments, showing him around and sharing smiles and encouragement. The visit was filled with positivity as the police team showed solidarity with Jett and his family during this challenging time.
The Nampa Police Department expressed their gratitude for the visit and wished Jett and his family strength and courage as they continue their fight. The department shared their joy at having Jett join them for what they described as a wonderful day to create memories and share some fun.
