BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — Thursday marked the final day of Shop with a Cop with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Ty Rupert and other DCSO team members were seen spending time with all the kids, uplifting their Christmas spirit with necessities like blankets and jackets—and of course a few Christmas toys to spark some holiday joy.
Shop with a Cop is a long-standing national tradition that pairs local law enforcement officers with children in need of a special holiday shopping experience.
Kids are nominated through local schools and community organizations.
Together with law enforcement, they spend the day together–having fun shopping for necessities and a few holiday gifts.
