The Mill Creek Police Department recently selected Julia McCauley, a second grader at Mill Creek Elementary, as its honorary Chief for A Day. Chief Greg Elwin and members of the Mill Creek Police Department visited Julia’s class to announce her appointment and award her with her badge.

Chief for a Day is a statewide program hosted bi-annually by the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission and focuses on giving children who have been diagnosed with a chronic medical condition a day of fun that does not focus on their illness.

This is Mill Creek’s first year to participate. McCauley will make ceremonial appearances in the community over the next several months.
