Special Delivery For Young Police Super-Fan!
Written by HFM News on 17th December 2020
A young police super-fan from Market Harborough has received a special delivery of the Leicestershire force’s first Christmas card, which he designed.
Chief Constable Simon Cole surprised Jay, aged 8, to hand deliver it to his home and thank him personally for his efforts.
The hand-drawn design features a police officer wearing a face covering and a police dog standing by a Christmas tree.
Jay caught the attention of officers through his passion for Policing, often dressing up in his own uniform to patrol his local streets.
His mum, Hayley said: “It was soon after Jay was patrolling the streets back in 2019, we made him a twitter account which I manage. From there, Jay really started to get recognised and it took off.
“His account under his preferred title ‘Chief Inspector Jay’ now has nearly four thousand online twitter followers from all over the world. Many of which coming from Canada and America, but also as far as Russia too!
“We’ve been fortunate enough to have received amazing collectables from these people such as police patches, pins, challenge coins and hat badges. This has helped Jay create a collectors wall at home full of items sent from his online supporters.
“It’s been absolutely amazing to make people smile through sharing Jay’s passion for policing. We never thought it would become such an uplift for other officers and for us as his parents as well. After the year we’ve had, it’s just lovely to share our story and provide a little Christmas community spirit through Jay designing the 2020 Christmas card.”
