Shop With A Cop Thrills Law Enforcement too

More than 50 officers, deputies and troopers from several different law enforcement agencies spent a couple of hours spreading holiday cheer Tuesday.   This is the tenth year of Shop With A Cop. “The kid’s reactions are very similar to law enforcement's reactions. I don't know who benefits more, either the law enforcement officers reactions or the kids, I think it's a coin toss.” Deschutes County Sheriffs Lieutenant Shane Nelson says $36,000 was spent this year. This year, they are shopping for more than a hundred kids and the final tally isn't in yet.  What do the kids think? Well, they were thrilled to be able to buy things for their families, get some needed clothing for themselves. Nelson says they were able to talk about their lives and their families and have a great experience in general.  If you would like to donate to Shop With A Cop, call the Deschutes County Sheriffs Office or your local Central Oregon law enforcement agency.
