Ormond Beach Police officers took on the roles of Santa's helpers on Saturday, Dec. 6, as they helped 34 local children cross a few things off their Christmas wish lists.
Pushing shopping carts decorated in tinsel, Ormond Beach Police officers participated in the agency's annual Shop with a Cop event. Together with their assigned child, they scoured store aisles, boxes of toys, stuffed animals and dolls making their way into their carts. The holiday shopping spree grants each of the participating children $100 to spend in the store.
The children are typically chosen by local schools to participate in the event, which is held in partnership with Walmart. This year, the kids were from Pine Trail Elementary, Ormond Beach Elementary, Tomoka Elementary and Pathways Elementary.
