Caption: Top Cop Not
A TEENAGE boy dressed as a police officer went on patrol in a squad car with a qualified cop for five hours before he was busted.
The 14-year-old walked into a Chicago police station and managed to secure an assignment. He did not have a gun, issue any tickets or drive the patrol car, Associated Press reported.
Assistant Superintendent James Jackson said the boy's deception was only discovered after the patrol ended.
Officers noticed his uniform didn't have an official star.
Police said they were investigating how the "serious security breach" went undetected for so long.
Deputy Superintendent Daniel Dugan said the boy looked older than 14, and was motivated by a desire to be an officer rather than malice or "ill intent", Associated Press reported.
He also took part in a program for youth interested in policing, and would have been familiar with some procedures, police said.

Purple ticketholders are vindicated....somewhat.
Thousands of people who had tickets to the purple and blue sections of the National Mall for last Tuesday's swearing in of Barack Obama as president never made it. There was a mob scene, and hoards of them were herded into the 3rd Street Tunnel, which has since been dubbed "the Purple Tunnel of Doom."
Gabe Cohen, an Obama campaign worker from Denver, organized a swearing in do-over. Not for President Obama, but for any of those locked out of the process on Tuesday.
The message went out on Facebook, and the Survivors of the Purple Tunnel of Doom were invited to bring their iPods and laptops to the front of the Capitol.
