The officers were contacted by a charity called Dreams2Live4 which aims to make dreams come true for patients who are living with metastatic cancer, relapsed lymphoma, relapsed leukemia and aggressive brain tumours.

According to a post on the NSW Traffic and Highway Command Facebook page, Neil Condran has always wanted to go for a drive in a police car with lights and sirens going - and police have been able to make that happen.

Lithgow Highway Patrol officers picked up Mr Condran on Thursday and showed him around a highway patrol car before taking him on patrol around the Lithgow area.
