Bailey - who wants to be a police officer some day - was presented a plaque, along with her very own Reidsville Police polo and knit cap.
Bailey was unable to attend a recent ceremony planned in her honor at the police department, so the officers decided to come to her!
Chief Hassell says Bailey is the cousin of Reidsville Police Officer Santana Menard.
