Garrett Giles
Roughly 50 kids received Christmas gifts during the Bartlesville Police Reserve and Bartlesville Fraternal Order of Police's annual Shop with a Cop event on Saturday night.
Following a dinner at Crossroads Baptist in Bartlesville, the kiddos had an opportunity to ride in a police procession to Walmart. Every child had an opportunity to play with the police lights and sirens during the trip to the store.
At Walmart, Shop with a Cop participants received $100 to spend as they please. Bartlesville Police Sergeant Daniel Elkins told Bartlesville Radio leading up to the event that the kids in the programs were selected by the Department of Human Services (DHS) or by the school resource officers that work with Bartlesville Public Schools.
