The little Texan with a big heart, who sent 200 hand-written letters of support to the NYPD after two cops were assassinated in their patrol car, met with the city’s top cop on Wednesday.

Adorable 10-year-old girl, Savannah Solis, went to Police Commissioner Bill Bratton’s office at One Police Plaza during the latest stop of what’s become a grand tour of the NYPD.

On Tuesday, when Savannah was asked by reporters if she wanted to visit Central Park and the Empire State Building, she said she would rather see more police precincts.

Bratton gave Savannah, who hopes to one day become a K-9 officer, NYPD memorabilia including a teddy bear, a key chain, and chocolate.

“I understand she has a sweet tooth so we had to give her NYPD chocolates. Don’t eat that before she goes to bed or she’ll never get to sleep,” Bratton joked.

Savannah sent the heartfelt letters after learning of the point-blank execution of officers Ramos and Liu, Dec. 20, and seeing the threats and rising anti-police sentiment in the weeks that followed.

“At a time of great tragedy and deep emotion in this city, those cards provided a lot of conciliation to those police officers. It’s only appropriate as she’s visiting New York to bring her here to the home of the NYPD,” Bratton said.

The young girl told reporters: “I want to be a voice for all kids to let the world know that we love and respect our police officers.”

“To my heroes I want to say don’t stop, please don’t give up,” she explained. “Many do not care or appreciate the sacrifices you make every day but I do, and I believe I don’t stand alone. Many are standing with me today to let you know that what you do matters.”

She finished her visit with a tour of police headquarters in the company of officers from the 41st Precinct, who she met after her arrival in New York on Tuesday.
