The Fremont Police Department in cooperation with the Fremont Police Association, Human Services Department, retail stores, the Fremont Bridge Rotary, and other local businesses sponsor the Annual Shop with a Cop event each December. The event has proven to be a huge success by the children involved, their parents, and the community of Fremont. The event is funded solely by community donations.

Program Information

The program invites children and families identified by the Human Services Department and gives them the opportunity to purchase holiday gifts for their family members during a shopping spree. Traditionally, the children are chauffeured to and from school by a Fremont Police Officer. Once they arrive at the store, they are escorted by the Police Officer and a special helper from the store to purchase their gifts. They are treated to planned activities, games, and lunch. The gifts the children purchase for their family members are wrapped and delivered to the Family Resource Center to be picked up by the family later in the day.

Shop with a Cop 2025

Shop with a Cop this year was another great success! We purchased gifts for 23 selected children and their families this year.

This year, we went to Target at The Hub to go shopping with the children and enjoy a morning of fun holiday activities. Our officers picked the kids up from school, took them on a shopping spree at Target, then spent the rest of the morning enjoying games, crafts, and other activities with the kids. At the end of the event, we all had lunch together before the officers chauffeured the kids back to school, We also had several local organizations join us to wrap gifts and make the day special for the kids. We are so grateful that we were able to celebrate together!

This event would not be possible without our community sponsors, listed below!
