An unidentified police officer said the department held a "Shop with a Cop" event at a Target store that took six families, selected from local community schools, holiday shopping.

The officer said the families were "overwhelmed" and honored to be chosen, and that the event lasted "well over an hour," giving children "the things that they want and some of the things that they need." The officer described the program as a way to "engage with the public" and to "break down the barriers of police officers," noting that officers were able to be playful and relaxed while shopping with children.

The speaker said the department had not run the event in "the last few years" and is now resuming it, and thanked Target for partnering on the program. The officer also stated the community contains "over a 100,000 residents"; that population figure was reported by the speaker and is not verified in the transcript.

No department name, exact store location, or dates for future events were provided in the remarks. The officer did not provide names of the participating families or details on selection criteria beyond noting they were drawn from local schools.

The department did not announce any formal follow-up or scheduling for future "Shop with a Cop" events in the remarks provided.
