Each December, Coopertown Police, in cooperation with Robertson County Schools, host a Shop-With-A-Cop event to help ensure children in Coopertown have a memorable Christmas. The event is made possible through generous donations from the community, local businesses, and Coopertown employees. Some of the donations are raised during annual community engagement events hosted by Coopertown Police.
Children from Coopertown Elementary and Middle schools are transported to WalMart in Springfield by bus. Once there, the children are partnered with Law Enforcement Officers, Coopertown Officials and Employees, and other volunteers to help the children shop. WalMart designates a register specifically for the event and refreshments are made available. Afterwards, the children are treated to lunch, courtesy of area restaurants.
Shop With A Cop is a way for Coopertown Police to help ensure underprivileged children are able to have gifts for Christmas. The event also helps foster a positive influence between our community’s youth and our law enforcement.
