Two western Kentucky law enforcement officers in a Calloway County Sheriff’s Office cruiser were conducting traffic stops in Murray Monday. But they issued gift cards instead of tickets. Rachel Collins reports.
Clere said his organization wanted to do something extra special this year to spread Christmas cheer in the community.
“Especially for this year with COVID, with people having a hard time, we wanted to do a little bit extra beyond the Shop With a Cop, so we decided to do this and make people’s holidays a little bit better,” he said.
Bowman said FOP Lodge 23 typically hosts Shop With a Cop for children in Murray and Calloway County, but the ongoing pandemic prevented them from being able to host the event in person. Instead, the organization donated gift cards to 70 Calloway County families. Those gift cards, combined with the gift cards randomly distributed Monday, totaled in excess of $10,000.
