‘Shop With A Cop’ Makes Christmas Brighter

December 25, 2018

Christmas is a little brighter in Escambia County thanks to Shop With a Cop.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and Escambia County School District partnered to help 69 children-in-need shop for their families this Christmas.

Children were identified by the Escambia County School District and their School Resource Officers to participate in the program. Each child was given a Walmart gift card that allowed them to purchase Christmas gifts for themselves and/or their family. Escambia County Deputies, volunteered their time, and picked-up each child up in a patrol vehicle and received a police escort to the Walmart. Once at the Walmart, their deputy helped them with their shopping.

    I love Shop With A Cop, it’s one of the reasons I love riding with the ECSO Mounted Unit, the looks on these kids faces when they see the horses and get to come up hug and pet on them. It’s Priceless!!
