A teenager from Ocala recently got to experience being Police Chief for a day.
According to a social media post from the Ocala Police Department, 14-year-old John-Mark Wallace was selected to act as Police Chief for a day thanks to a community auction for a local non-profit organization.
John-Mark brought along a friend, Carter, to share in the experience.
During his day with the police department, John-Mark was given a tour of the entire agency. He also met Mayor Kent Guinn, took part in some K-9 training, and rode inside a SWAT MRAP vehicle, among other activities.
On its Facebook webpage, the Ocala Police Department stated, “We had a blast hanging out with John-Mark. Thanks, John-Mark for being a great Police Chief for the day.”
