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.
