3-year-old sworn in as honorary Philadelphia police officer

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - A local 3-year-old was sworn in as an honorary Philadelphia police officer.

Officer Ryder rode a toy police car around headquarters Wednesday chasing after Commissioner Ross. He was rolling with quite the entourage there behind him.

FOX 29 first introduced you to Ryder last month when Bruce Gordon visited Ryder and his mother as he patrolled the streets in Swarthmore.

His mom said Ryder spends most of each day riding around in his police car in his police uniform just about 24/7 and rarely removes his police hat.

His mom says few things come easily for her little guy, but his affection for the men and women in blue, bring a smile to her face.

"It's just wonderful to watch him love something so much. It gives him such pride."
