GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio. (WSAZ) - A very sweet birthday surprise in Gallia County this weekend.

This young man - Bryker Blackburn - turned six, and for his birthday he wanted a law enforcement-themed birthday party.

Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin called in some buddies and made it happen.

Sheriff’s deputies, police officers, Ohio State Highway Patrol and Game Warden all showed up, put on a little parade, and had some prizes for his birthday.

Bryker was ready in uniform to welcome his new friends.

You can see on his face how excited he was!

His parents told them to get ready for a new member of the force in the future.
