Streetsboro Police Department - 2009

On December 12, 2009, Streetsboro Police Officers and Dispatchers, along with other representatives from our community, went shopping with over 35 needy children from our area.  This consisted of a shopping spree at a local Wal-Mart in conjunction with several other police departments in the region, where kids are matched up with an officer or a dispatcher to go shopping.   Members of the police department sold Shop With A Cop raffle tickets in order to raise funds to take our kids shopping. 

Thank you to all of the organizations, companies and individuals within the Streetsboro community for their generous assistance to the Shop With A Cop Program.   Thank you also to Streetsboro Dunkin Donuts and Pizza Hut for their generous food contributions to help us host our kids and keep them full!

Each of the children were given a police escort consisting of several emergency vehicles from agencies throughout Summit and Portage counties with lights and sirens to the Wal Mart store to begin the day.

2009 was the sixth consecutive year the Streetsboro Police Department has participated in Shop With A Cop.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the program so successful and helping kids and families who truly deserve it.
