Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department participated Saturday in the annual “shop with a cop” event at the Bellefontaine Wal-Mart. The holiday event allows local students partner up with law enforcement and select Christmas gifts for members of their family. The program is intended to brighten the holiday season for children and families that may otherwise go without, as well as to foster positive interactions between local law enforcement and the community. The program is supported through local donations and fundraising efforts, and is made possible by the Fraternal Order of Police.
