KSAT first introduced us to the Hoag family last month. The child joined the department as an honorary officer after being diagnosed with leukemia.
Eli stood tall outside his house last month in his police uniform, repeating every word of the officer's oath to Schertz police Officer Helen Lafitte.
After his induction, the department wanted to make sure he also had the necessary equipment to be an officer. With the help of the local Walmart and donations, the department bought the child his own Tahoe.
His sister, Brooklyn, also received a scooter.
