The Missouri S&T Police Department joined area law enforcement agencies on Dec. 13 for the 23rd annual Cops Care, where children in need get the opportunity to go Christmas shopping with a law enforcement officer. Officer Matthew Farrar represented Missouri S&T. The Phelps County Sheriff’s Department hosts the program and Walmart gives each child a $75 gift card.
Nearly 90 children from various Phelps County elementary schools were chosen by their teachers to take part in this year’s program. Photos of the event can be seen on the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page.
