This was a large group of children the Atchison County officers were able to assist through the Shop with A Cop program. Around $1,600 in donations helped make this happen.

Atchison County Deputy Wes Lopez and his shopping buddy, Caleb, enjoyed a sword fight while checking out the toys at Wal-Mart.

The Rock Port and Tarkio Police Departments, as well as the Atchison County Sheriff’s Department once again took part in the Shop with A Cop program. Thanks to many donations from community members, around 20 children were able to pick out their Christmas gifts while shopping with law enforcement officials. Everyone was all smiles while shopping the toy section at Wal-Mart in Shenandoah, Iowa, December 15, 2017. Every child was grateful for their gifts and their families and the officers were appreciative of the donations that made this event such a success.
