WATERTOWN â âShop With a Copâ in Jefferson County is still happening this year, despite the program making a change due to COVID-19, all due to first responders and the local businesses supporting it.
The parade of honking fire trucks and lit-up police cars wonât happen, and first responders wonât be teaming up with children like in the past, but the program lives on.
Instead of âShop With a Cop,â itâs âShop By a Copâ this year, where a first responder was given a Walmart gift card to use on behalf of a child.
âShop By a Copâ is scheduled for this Saturday. The children will receive gifts from Santa and first responders at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building at designated times between 8:30 a.m. and noon.
