OKLAHOMA CITY — Abused children come from every zip code in Oklahoma County.

Only a third of Oklahoma County juvenile cases have a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.

CASA volunteers are the eyes and ears of the court; they speak for the children.

CASA of Oklahoma County has about 200 volunteers right now.

They are actively recruiting additional volunteers to meet the needs of the Oklahoma County juvenile court system.

CASA of Oklahoma County Executive Director, Lee Ann Limber, hopes to add 100 volunteers in the next year.

LEXINGTON, Okla. — An Oklahoma boy battling cancer recently got a big surprise.

A small town police department decided to let him join the force.

It’s a dream come true for the 10-year-old boy.

He not only joined in name but got the gear and a few assignments to go with it.

Xander Moore loves sports especially baseball and the OKC Thunder.

He may seem like an average 10 year old, but he’s actually an honorary member of the Lexington Police Department.

Complete with a real uniform, a badge and handcuffs.

His mom, Ricki Lea, said, “It’s the only thing he hangs up, everything else goes to the floor.”

Chief Deana Allen, with the Lexington Police Department, said, “He really, he represented what an officer is supposed to represent, fearlessness and strength.”

Strength through a battle with cancer.

It was an interesting choice for the usually fashionable NBA star.
