Raiden Aguilera had his wish come true yesterday by the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, when he became a SWAT team member. Raiden, age 7, joined SWAT team members as they saved multiple teddy bears from kidnappers.

Today AZDPS SWAT made a difference in a young man’s life. Raiden Aguilera has LCH, a rare form of cancer. His wish was to be a SWAT Operator. @Arizona_DPS SWAT made the wish reality. @MakeAWish started here in 1980 under my father’s leadership. pic.twitter.com/hZlrYN5g6n
