Shop with a Cop is an annual event that gives local law enforcement a chance to give back to the community in a meaningful way. Local businesses generously donate to the program, and officers team up with kids who could use a little extra help at Christmastime. Together, they shop for gifts for the kids’ family members—and something special for the kids themselves.

To wrap up the evening, our longtime partner Adventures in Rice Lake provides a free meal for all the kids and officers. It’s a heartwarming tradition that brings our community together, puts smiles on kids’ faces, and—if we’re being honest—often leaves the officers smiling even bigger.
