The county’s newest Little Blue Heroes were honoured at a ceremony at Castlerea Garda Station last week.
Haley Bird (16), Imelia Evans (11) and Jack Mc Dermott (4) were joined by their families and friends for the occasion.
Inspector David Cryan, Roscommon Garda Station, presented each Honorary Garda with a graduation certificate and ceremonial medal.

Gardaí thank everyone who attended for making the day so special, Fr. Kevin Reynolds for his lovely blessing and the Little Blue Heroes Foundation for its continued support and assistance to the honorary gardaí and their families.
The Little Blue Heroes Foundation, established in 2017, is a not-for-profit registered charity voluntarily led by Garda members, retired Garda members and other members of the community.

The vision is to support families of children with serious illnesses while empowering the lives of children through positive community engagement.
The mission is to provide practical and financial support to families while granting the wish of the children to become honorary gardaí, to empower the child and foster positive engagement with An Garda Síochána.
