The DeKalb County Police Department is spreading holiday cheer in partnership with Macy's Northlake Mall for the "Shop with a Cop" event, set for today at 9 a.m. In an effort jointly supported by the DKPD and Macy's, 30 children will have the opportunity to select gifts from their wish lists, with funds sponsored by the department store.
Chosen by officers from the DKPD's Police Athletic League, kids between the ages of three and 16 are going to be shopping, making sure something wrap-worthy ends up under the tree for each of them this season. Announced in a recent press release, the festive initiative aims to foster community relations and offer a slice of seasonal joy to the participating young ones.
This marks the second year for the benevolent collaboration, aiming to strengthen the bond between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The endeavor not only grants children the chance to receive presents but also provides a platform for positive interactions with the officers in a non-enforcement environment.
For those seeking additional details or wishing to arrange interviews regarding the event, DKPD's Public Information Officer E. Wells can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at 770-724-7477. Combining resources and goodwill, DKPD and Macy's are working together, centering the true spirit of the holiday around community engagement and the smiles of children.
