Jefferson County Sheriff Colleen ONeill proudly announces the 14th annual Shop with a Cop
program is scheduled for Saturday, December 9, 2017. Children from across Jefferson County
have been selected and parents/guardians have been notified.

Each child will be paired with one of our volunteers (a Deputy Sheriff, Police Officer, Correctional
Officer, Probation Officer, Fire Fighter, Paramedicetc.) from surrounding agencies. The
children will be taken from the Public Safety Building in emergency vehicles to the Route 3
Wal-Mart to shop for Christmas with a Wal-Mart gift card. When the children have completed
their shopping, they will be transported to Sams Club to enjoy a pizza party and receive gifts from
Santa.
