Boy, 14, Dresses Up as Chicago Cop. Fools Officers for Five Hours!

Note to Chicago Residents: You can rest safe now, after your local police department spotted an imposter in their ranks and it only took five hours. Who was this master of disguise? Would you believe a 14-year-old boy? The good news is that the CPD claims that the lad "did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and didn't drive the squad car," during his shift. Well, I hope not! Here's more from WBBM:

A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment - patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday. The boy did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and didn't drive the squad car, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Dugan said.
Assistant Superintendent James Jackson said the ruse was discovered only after the boy's patrol with an actual officer ended Saturday. Officers noticed his uniform lacked a star that is part of the regulation uniform.
Police said they were investigating how the deception went undetected for so long in what they described as a serious security breach. Police said disciplinary steps are possible pending the outcome of the investigation. Police didn't identify the boy because of his age. He has been charged as a juvenile with impersonating an officer. Dugan said the boy looks older than 14 and was motivated by a desire to be an officer, not malice or "ill intent."
