CABARRUS COUNTY, N.C. — On Saturday, the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) sponsored its 26th annual Cops and Kids event.
Sgt. Dean Vernon with the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Department is vice president of FOP Lodge 64 in Concord who helped put on the event.
"It's just one of those opportunities for us to work side by side with our community partners and businesses to come together and realize that we've got children in our community that have some needs and are underprivileged, and to share some joy with them for Christmas and also to take the burden off of those families and give them some smiles and Christmas joy," Sgt. Vernon said.
