7-year-old Clayton County boy made honorary police officer loses battle to brain cancer
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - A young boy made an honorary Clayton County police officer late last year has lost his long battle with cancer this past weekend.
The Clayton County Police Department made 7-year-old Juvell Harris an honorary member of their squad last November, even giving him a case to work and solve for himself.
Harris, who has been diagnosed with a form of brain cancer called DIPG, presenting with a tumor of the brain, said his wish was to become an officer. So, Harris spent that day with the officers from roll call to the end of their watch when they showered him with gifts and love.

Prayers are extended to the Harris family during this difficult time.”
