Here's the latest from the AP. I heard it on NPR's All Things Considered.

CHICAGO (AFP) — A 14-year-old boy who fooled Chicago police and spent five hours in a squad car alongside another police officer who was on traffic patrol has tried impersonating a cop before, local media said Monday.
Police acknowledged it was a serious security breach and said they are investigating how the boy managed to check out a radio and ticket book and how he managed to spend five hours on patrol while escaping suspicion.
They said the boy "looks older than 14" and was wearing a complete Chicago police uniform except for the badge and gun.
He was discovered when he returned to the station to fill out paperwork and a sergeant noticed the missing star-shaped badge.
