Let's bring Devarjaye Daniel to the North Country!

About Devarjaye "D.J." Daniel

D. J. is a 12-year-old from Houston, Texas, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of brain and spinal cancer, for which there is no cure. 

“I’m just gonna keep on going until my gas tank runs out,” he said. “And when my gas tank runs out, that’s when God calls you home, and you never know when God’s gonna call you home.” - Devarjaye Daniel

The Big Day!

Devarjaye was sworn in as an Officer for the Saranac Lake Village Police Department on September 30, 2024, and assigned Shield 030.  He was also sworn in with the Malone Village Police Department, New York State Police "B" Troop, Essex County Sheriff's Office, and the Plattsburgh City Police Departments at the ceremony at the Harrietsown Town Hall.  Lake Placid Village Trustee Andrew Quinn would also swear Devarjaye into the Lake Placid Village Police Department later in the evening after the Daniel family had dinner at Bitters & Bones!

After the ceremony, Sgt Reyanin Brown and Officer Gabrielle Beebe the Saranac Lake Village Police Department brought Devarjaye around the village in patrol vehicle 7B370, and remained with him well into the evening.  

106.3 NBZ-FM would like to extend a special thank you to The Saranac Lake Village Police Department, The Village of Saranac Lake, HK Boat Rentals, Hotel Saranac, Bitters & Bones, The Star Trek Original Series Set Tour, Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn & Suites and those who donated to the GoFundMe to make Devarjaye's trip to the North Country possible!
