The Westside Regional Command PAR office was contacted in August 2015, by Rocio Chacon of the Make - A - Wish Foundation. She informed officers that Alexis Calleros, 4 years old, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and his wish was to become a police officer. The EPPD overwhelmingly responded and on September 19, 2015, Alexis ’ wish came true. Judge Carlos Carrasco swore in Alexis Calleros as an honorary El Paso Police Officer. Chief Gregory Allen pinned a special badge on Alexis, appointing him as Assistant Chief. Local area businesses volunteered their time and talents, donated items and came out to assist with this event. An article of this event was also included in “ The City ” magazine by Andy Martinez.
