On Dec. 7, University Police joined area law enforcement agencies for Phelps County’s Shop with a Cop program, giving children in need the opportunity to shop for gifts with a law enforcement officer.

University Police thanks all campus departments that participated in the fundraising activities for this year’s event. Over 200 children from Phelps County participated in the program, and through campus and community donations received, University Police raised $5,000, which was enough to sponsor 40 children. 

Cop’s Care – Shop with a Cop is managed by the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department, and all local, state and federal agencies from Phelps County participate.
