“Do you Nathnael Abrahams, solemnly swear?” Nathnael was being sworn in as 2016 Police Chief-for-the-Day at the Arlington County Justice Center Plaza on June 21 by Deputy Chief Andy Penn. Nathnael won a poster contest open to all fifth graders in Arlington County. His depicted a burglary in action, and his chosen core value was courage. Before the mid-day ceremony Nathaniel had already been picked up in a squad car at his home, seen a K9 demonstration and been at the scene of a mock crime. After a break for pizza there was more on his agenda including fingerprinting and the dispatch center. Penn presented Nathnael an eagle pin which is the symbol of the Chief of Police. Nathnael is a fifth grader at Carlin Springs Elementary School and will attend Kenmore Middle School next year where he will continue to be a safety patrol.
