On Tuesday afternoon, (4/27), the Clayton Police Department got together and surprised 8-year-old William Buchanan of Clayton with a basketball standard. Williams mother Paige Buchanan got the ‘basketball’ rolling by reaching out to the Basketball COP Foundation regarding her son who has Autism. The basketball cop foundation advised Mrs. Buchanan to have her local police department reach out directly to the foundation. Mrs. Buchanan contacted Clayton Police Department and spoke with Sgt Lauren Franklin, who in turn reached out to the foundation and was able to obtain a Basketball Standard and also have some basketballs delivered to the Clayton Police Department. The Police officers assembled the basketball standard and delivered it to William who was so happy to get to shoot some hoops with the police officers!
