The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office is thanking the community, its partners, volunteers, and sponsors who helped to make the Fifth Annual Shop with a Cop event possible.
Because of COVID-19, the event was modified this year from a shopping trip to Walmart with deputies to a more socially-distanced affair where 24 elementary school-aged children within the sheriff’s office’s jurisdictional schools provided lists of gifts that deputies and volunteers picked out to deliver to homes. The event once again proved to be an extremely worthwhile event for local kids, families, and deputies.
The children were selected by their teachers and school staff as deserving, with a desire, or simply in need or facing a hardship this year. Each child’s family was contacted for permission, then a school resource officer or deputy met with each child for a little one-on-one fun.
