ozens of police officers helped bring smiles and laughter to Loma Linda University’s Children’s Hospital’s youngest patients Tuesday during the annual Cops for Kids Fly-In. Marking its 17th year, the event brings law enforcement from throughout Southern California and military members from to deliver toys to patients at the children’s hospital in a very big way. The delivery starts with a grand entrance of four law enforcement helicopters hovering over the hospital and landing on the lawn, followed by a parade of sirens from police motorcycles, squad cars and SWAT vehicles — all while young patients and their families stand in awe and excitement. After the grand arrival, patients were able to interact with officers, step into helicopter cockpits and jump into law enforcement vehicles. Each child received a sticker and a gift from an officer. For those patients too sick to leave Cops for Kids, cont. on next pg.
