The department, along with the Cops Fighting Cancer organization, made Mickelsen’s dream come true on Friday.

Mickelsen says he has wanted to be a police officer as long as he can remember.

“I could save the world, and there will be no more mean people, and no more people who steal stuff,” he said.

Mickelsen and his family found out in December that he has a brain tumor and has been battling it since then.

“He’s had a long fight and he still has a long way to go,” said Travis’ dad, Brett Mickelsen.

Officer James Seneca founded Cops Fighting Cancer and works for the Aurora Police Department.

“It’s like my son being involved in this, with me having cancer 20 years ago and with Travis being diagnosed with cancer last year it makes it even more special for the organization because we can fulfill a wish for Travis,” said Seneca.

Mickelsen received a badge and police hat for being an honorary officer, and his family also got a lot larger.

“It’s going to be the whole police department checking up on Travis since he’s part of the family now,” smiled Seneca.
