LANDOVER, MD — The Prince George's County Police Department honored a 4-year-old boy on Saturday, making him an honorary police officer. The child, Kristopher Quander, is currently in hospice care. The department celebrated Quander with a "Salute to Ride" parade around the Capital Beltway. Quander's trip ended at FedExField where police celebrated his life alongside the Washington Football Team and the Negro League Legends Hall of Fame, a local nonprofit that recounts the importance of the first professional baseball association for Black Americans. "We are very proud of Kristopher and support him and his family in this fight," police said on Facebook. Have a story idea? Please contact me at [email protected] with any pitches, tips or questions.
