Young Warrior Becomes Rochester Police Officer

Props to our city leaders for creating a special moment for a little warrior! Coltin Kenning, from Kimball, MN, has been diagnosed with 41 different health conditions in his short life, has undergone approximately 17 brain surgeries and he wasn’t able to speak except by sign language until the age of four.

Today the City of Rochester and Rochester Police Department honored him with a special party at Pasquale's Neighborhood Pizzeria in downtown Rochester. Coltin was recognized as an honorary officer. Mayor Norton was on hand to present Coltin with a formal proclamation and Chief Franklin conducted an honorary swearing-in. Check out the pictures below.
