“Shop with a Cop helps afford children and their families a better Christmas,” Enon Police Chief Mike Holler said. “Additionally, it provides a joyful environment for children to interact with law enforcement.”
Approximately 20 students were selected by Greenon Local Schools staff members to participate in the program, Holler said.
In previous years, officers, students and their parents took a school bus to Walmart in Springfield. Each child could spend up to $100, while shopping with the officers, Holler said.
This year, due to COVID-19 concerns, the police department modified the event to eliminate the possible spread of the coronavirus.
Gift cards were delivered to children that could not come to the event, Holler said.
