SASKATOON The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) gave four-year-old Jett Reis a reason to smile about as he battles a rare brain tumour. He was presented with a uniform as he wants to be a police officer when he grows up, just like uncle, SPS said in a tweet. Jett was diagnosed early February with an exceedingly rare pediatric brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Jett already had the spirit of a warrior to fight and now he s got the uniform to do it. SPS said. Jett s aunt Jaecene Spott describes her nephew as a kind, generous and thoughtful person. In late 2020, his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy. He came up with the idea to shave his head in solidarity so that his Gido “would not be alone in the fight.”

A four year-old who is battling a rare brain tumor was honoured by the Saskatoon Police Service over the weekend.
In February Jett Reiss was diagnosed with a highly aggressive and inoperable tumor known as a DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) tumor, for which there is currently no cure.
On Friday night, a parade of dozens of police vehicles took to the streets near Jett’s home and police officers presented him with his very own police uniform and badge. According to the Saskatoon Police Service’s twitter Jett wants to be an officer just like his uncle, police say Jett already had the spirit of a warrior to fight and now he’s got the uniform to do it.
