WESTMINSTER POLICE HOST 13TH ANNUAL “SHOP WITH A COP” EVENT


WESTMINSTER POLICE HOST 13TH ANNUAL “SHOP WITH A COP” EVENT TO BENEFIT LOCAL FAMILIES IN NEED

On December 10, 2016 at 8:00 a.m., the Westminster Police Department, in partnership with the Westminster Walmart, will be hosting their 13th Annual “Shop With A Cop” Program.

The “Shop With A Cop” program originated in 1978 as a way to give deserving children an opportunity to purchase Christmas gifts for their family members.

The program also gives children the opportunity to meet and spend time with police officers in a positive and non-confrontational environment.

This year twenty children from seven local families have been selected to participate. In the previous twelve years of the program, the Westminster PD “Shop With A Cop” program has benefited 268 kids from 119 local families in need.

The 2016 “Shop With A Cop” celebration will take place at the Westminster Walmart located at 280 Woodward Road (Westminster) on December 10th.

The children selected will be teamed with Police Department officers and employees to pick out gifts for the holiday season. Walmart will be providing gift cards to allow the children to purchase holiday gifts for their family members. After the shopping is completed, everyone will return to the Westminster Senior Center where they will wrap the gifts that were purchased. Following the gift-wrapping, the Police Department will host a holiday party from approx. 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for all participating families. Additionally, Santa will make a surprise visit.


More than 20 local businesses will be making donations in support of this years “Shop With A Cop” effort. Approximately 250 gifts have been donated by the generous citizens of Carroll County from gift ideas posted on the “Angel Tree” at Walmart. These gifts will be distributed to the children and their families.
