Coopertown, Tennessee<\/em><\/p>\n

As part of Coopertown Police\u2019s ongoing effort to support the community they serve, the department does an annual\u00a0Shop-With-A-Cop<\/a>\u00a0event, designed to ensure disadvantaged children receive Christmas gifts. Coopertown Police partner with Coopertown schools to help identify students who may not otherwise be able to receive Christmas gifts due to low income. Thanks to the support from the community, area businesses, volunteers, and the generous donations received by the Coopertown Police Department, the annual\u00a0Shop-With-A-Cop<\/a>\u00a0event is able to help these children during the Christmas season. In addition to spreading Christmas cheer with gifts, the\u00a0Shop-With-A-Cop<\/a>\u00a0event helps foster a positive interaction between children and law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The event is funded 100% by donations. Throughout the year, Coopertown Police host several community events to help raise donations for the annual\u00a0Shop-With-A-Cop<\/a>\u00a0event. One such event has been the agency\u2019s Jeeps4LittlePeeps event, which initially started as a police-escorted Jeep ride. The response to the Jeep ride has become so overwhelming that it became difficult to manage an escorted ride of that magnitude. Additionally, there had been positive feedback regarding a \u201cShow & Shine\u201d event for Jeeps. Therefore, this year will mark the first year Coopertown Police are hosting the Jeeps4LittlePeeps Show & Shine event.<\/p>\n
