ST. CLOUD – The St. Cloud Police Department’s annual “Shop with a Cop” event looked a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In years past, Shop with a Cop” pairs up off-duty police officers with area children for a holiday shopping trip. This year, the St. Cloud Police Department partnered with the Waite Park Police Department, St. Cloud School District 742, Wal-Mart, Bernick’s Pepsi, and Mills Fleet Farm to deliver gifts to children in need.
Officials say school resource officers coordinated with the district and families to create a list of gift recipients and find out what items were on each child’s holiday “wish list.” Officers then purchased, wrapped and arranged delivery times with families.
