Officers Grant Birthday Wish

In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Noosa Police officers made a young boy’s birthday wish come true. Charlie McEvoy, a six-year-old with dreams of becoming a policeman, invited local officers to his birthday party. The enthusiastic boy and his mother, Katie McEvoy, had previously visited the Noosa Police Station, where Charlie received a tour.

The highlight of Charlie’s birthday came on January 10, when Senior Constable Joel Schoenberger and Constable Alex Browne arrived at his party in a patrol car. The officers allowed Charlie to sit in the vehicle, adding to the excitement of his police-themed celebration. “It was such a lovely morning, and we are really grateful,” Katie remarked.

To further delight the young boy, the officers presented Charlie with a custom-made vest, complete with a badge labeled ‘Special Constable Charlie.’ According to his mother, Charlie had received a junior police uniform for Christmas, which he adored. “The vest now barely comes off too,” she added.

Constable Browne expressed his pleasure at being able to contribute to making Charlie’s birthday special. Meanwhile, the impact of the day on Charlie has been profound, with Katie noting that he talks about his police party frequently, even during everyday activities like walking the dog.

The Queensland Police encourages the public to support their work by reporting any suspicious activities or information through Policelink or Crime Stoppers. This event not only highlights the bond between the police and the community but also the positive influence officers can have on young lives.
