This kid's dream is to be a cop one day. His mom helped him live a little part of that dream on his ride to school. 

Hunter Carlson is a fourth grader who has aspirations of joining the police force. His mom wanted to start him on his career path. Unfortunately, Hunter's mom is not with her son right now. She is currently training with the National Guard. Hunter's mom was able to get in contact with the Plano Police Department so he could be a 'cop' for a day.

Hunter got a ride to his first day of school and learn what Chief Gregory Rushin does in your average day of being a cop. Hunter's mom was able to be a part of it as well. She was able to Skype with her son, so she could be there on his first day of school as well.
