There's a new member of the Milwaukee Police Department, and he's only 6 years old.
Leo Perez, a 6-year-old from Milwaukee, is currently fighting a rare cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma, or RMS. Advertisement
RMS is most common in children and teenagers. It typically begins in muscles used for movement. It can grow quickly and often requires extensive treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, and sometimes surgery. Only a few hundred cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S., making awareness and research very important.
Leo doesn't let any of that stop his passion for public safety. He adores Milwaukee police officers, the K-9 unit, the TEU BearCat, and of course, "Paw Patrol."
It was an unforgettable day on Nov. 20, thanks to the Milwaukee Police Department and Milwaukee Police Associat
