Kids Shop With A Cop For Christmas
December 16, 2017
Over 60 Escambia County children will have presents for Christmas thanks to the Shop with a Cop event on Friday.
Chief Deputy Chip Simmons, over 90 children, over 70 deputies and civilians and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Explorers met at the Ensley Precinct on Hood Drive and then walked over to Walmart. They were escorted by the Escambia County Mounted Posse.
Smiles filled the store as children were grabbing their carts taking off with their deputy to shop with their $200 gift card. The gift cards were provided through the generous donations of many Escambia County businesses, organizations, families, and individuals.

Nice program. Thank you for giving back.
MY SISTER WAS IN WALMART WHEN SHE SAW ALL THESE POLICEMEN WITH BUGGIES AND CHILDREN HELPING PICK OUT TOYS. THEY WERE ALL HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME AND IT BROUGHT TEARS TO HER EYES TO SEE THESE GENTLE GIANTS BE SO LOVING AND CARING TO THESE CHILDREN.
THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED.
