Chief for a Day Returns to WSCJTC
On August 28, 2025, the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission proudly welcomed back Chief for a Day after a seven-year pause. This heartwarming tradition brought together 16 incredible children facing chronic or life-threatening illnesses and 16 law enforcement agencies from across Washington to celebrate courage, community, and hope.
From motorcades to swearing-in ceremonies and interactive demonstrations, the day was filled with joy, inspiration, and connection. None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our partnering agencies, volunteers, and community donors.
