00:00So this is the 2025 Shop with a Cop event.
00:03It's put on by the Wyoming County Sheriff's Foundation,
00:06which was created in 2023, a not-for-profit organization.
00:12So every year we have 18 kids from each school come.
00:17It takes us about five hours to get the whole county
00:20and all the school districts through the store.
00:22Each kid has a card that's worth $75,
00:26and they get a cop, and they get to go around the shop
00:28throughout the whole store and buy whatever they want,
00:31just make their holiday a little bit more bright.
00:34So this program actually goes back quite a few years,
00:38but as far as the Sheriff's Foundation goes,
00:40this is the second annual where the foundation has taken over
00:43and actually been running the event.
00:45Well, it's really great to just build connections
00:48and create trust with these kids.
00:50A lot of times when they see us on the community,
00:53it's more of a heartbreaking situation.
00:55So to take a day and flip the script on that,
00:58it's really great for them and for us on both sides.
01:02Did you find everything you wanted today?
01:04Yeah.
01:04What are some of the things you got today?
01:06Some candy and a snowman's figure and some plushies and stuff.
01:14Some of the toys, are you planning on keeping them all?
01:16Are you going to give them away, or what's your plans with all of them?
01:19I might give some away.
01:20Yeah, is there going to be some maybe for Christmas gifts?
01:23Yeah.
01:24Did you have fun with the officer?
01:26Yeah.
