Shop with a Cop - Christmas 2025

Thank You for an Incredible Shop with a Cop!

This weekend, 26 children joined local law enforcement for our Cops 4 Kids: Shop with a Cop! This event is a meaningful tradition that helps kids build positive, trusting relationships with officers through connection, kindness, and shared experience.

Shop with a Cop is designed for children who may have had difficult or traumatic experiences involving law enforcement. These events give them the chance to meet officers in a calm, supportive environment and create new, positive memories together. Since 2016, more than 280 children have taken part in this program.
