Shop With A Cop: Deputies Take Needy Kids Shopping
December 17, 2016
Dozens of Escambia County children had the chance to “Shop With a Cop” Friday afternoon at Walmart on Highway 29.
Each of the 63 children received $200 to shop with a deputy from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. They were able to gift shop for family members and themselves.
The children were selected with the help of the Escambia County School District, and the shopping trips were make possible thanks to donors.

Thank you ECSO this means so much to these kids and their families there is hope after all. God Bless and may the angles watch over each and everyone of you. Merry Christmas!
Thumbs up to Master Deputy James O’Hara for wearing the Santa hat.
Those Children will remember this as they grow older & stay out of “trouble”. Great Job/Work “ECSO” & to ALL Law Enforcement , just my opinion.

Thank you, Escambia County Sheriff’s Department and Deputy Whitlock for shopping with two of our well-deserving students at Jim Allen Elementary School. These two sweet boys will have an amazing Christmas!
I see my sweet gorgeous niece in that bunch, Thank you Melony for all you and your fellow officers do to keep us all safe.
I was in the parking lot yesterday and saw this group. There were so many happy faces in the group and in the people watching. Thanks to all who helped fund this. Also a special thanks to the LEO’s who helped and please try to stay safe.
