Shop with a Cop was held at the Shoreline Fred Meyer on Friday, December 21, 2017.

It included officers from Shoreline PD, Lake Forest Park PD, and troopers from Washington State Patrol.

Officers paired up with the kids and took them through the aisles at Fred Meyer to pick out gifts for themselves and their families.

Each child brought a wish list of items for their family members and we did our best to make dreams come true.

Really hard to say who had more fun...

Amazing kids, great cops and generous community partners made this a day these families won’t soon forget.

The kids had a wonderful time with the officers and shopping for gifts, and the officers clearly had a wonderful time as well.

Afterwards, everyone went back to wrap presents - probably the most serious moment of the day.

Serious until the job was done, that is. After all, what else are you going to do with those cardboard tubes?

The kids got a lot more than presents out of the day.
