Larry McQueen waited with his fellow officers just outside of the second floor community room July 1 to be inducted as the newest members of the Sarasota Police Department. But, before the ceremony started, his 2-year-old daughter, Jaden, spotted him in the hallway and she instinctively ran to him. In one swoop McQueen picked her up to share a congratulatory embrace. Chief Bernadette DiPino helped swear in McQueen and five new officers in time for the Fourth of July weekend.
