It's not every day that a sheriff's office gets to boast international fandom, but Pierce County Sheriff’s Office has just that in the form of eight-year-old Fintan, an Aussie lad with a fascination for law enforcement and community service. According to a recent blog post by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, Fintan has reprised one of Deputy Cappetto’s videos, his reenactment shot with the sincerity only the pure heart of a child can muster.

The little aficionado hails from Australia and is part of 'The Clean Team,' a local group committed to litter reduction and neighborhood beautification. His dedication to keeping his community clean not only shines through his environmental work, but also in the deputy-inspired videos he creates. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office has taken note, acknowledging that they are "honored to have him in our fan club."

Delight over Fintan’s dedication from halfway across the globe spills over on the sheriff's office social platforms. Not often does one see such enthusiasm from a youngster, matched with active community contribution. The youthful energy Fintan channels into his local Clean Team reverberates, it seems, all the way to the Pacific Northwest, initiating an unlikely but heartfelt connection between the small-town sheriff’s office and the vibrant Aussie youth.
