Honorary NOPD officer shows 'em how it's done
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — He's small but mighty, and he might be on your tail.
Devarjaye 'DJ' Daniels, 13, was made an honorary officer of the New Orleans Police Department on Tuesday, April 29 and received the Department's Medal of Merit, presented by Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick.

Daniels was diagnosed with brain and spine cancer six year ago, and since then, he's made it his goal to become an honorary officer at one thousand police departments across the United States.
The badge came with a challenge in New Orleans.
Two crooks were on the run through the French Quarter, when Daniels demonstrated his law enforcement chops by chasing and collaring them both.
