"I got to finally go to the dance that I really wanted to go to instead of just me and my mom," 10-year-old Haley Olsen of Phoenix, Arizona told KNXV.
“My husband wasn’t able to come and I don’t have a lot of positive male role models in my life, so I thought, ‘Why not police officers?!'” said mom Laura Castaneda.

Olsen’s dad couldn’t make it at the sat minute because of work.
Four officers went above and beyond to make the night magical for the sisters.
“My and my police officer created a giant circle of the cha-cha-cha and it was super fun!” Haley said with a big smile.
Their mom can’t thank the officers enough.
“I will forever be grateful and my girls will have this memory for the rest of their lives, so I can’t thank them enough,” said Castaneda.
