A six-year-old boy will be Saint John’s next police chief — on a temporary basis.
Cayden Liu has been named the winner of the 2022 Chief for a Day contest.
“I want to be a police officer to make a difference,” Liu wrote in his submission.
He also outlined his plan to help people who are hurt, catch bad guys, and build houses for the homeless.
According to the police force, Liu is considered a leader among his classmates and is described as caring and empathetic.
“The qualities and characteristics that Cayden possesses are those required to be a great police officer,” Chief Robert Bruce said in a news release.
“Like Cayden, every Chief needs to be a good leader and plan for the future. We look forward to having Cayden as our Chief for a Day.”
