In some welcome, non-EDA news, on Monday evening the Front Royal Town Council and Town Police Department made 8-year-old Orion Perry an honorary Front Royal Police Officer.

The Hilda J. Barbour second grader was “badged” by FRPD Chief Kahle Magalis and received some gifts from Mayor Matt Tederick to help celebrate his officer promotion.

Barbour second-grade teacher Rita Werner helped make Orion’s police officer dream come true in the wake of last week’s Relay for Life events.
