TILLAMOOK, Ore. – Law enforcement personnel from the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO), City of Tillamook Police Department (TPD), Manzanita Police Department, United States Coast Guard, US Forrest Service & Oregon State Police, participated in the 19th Annual “Shop with a Cop” event on Saturday, December 16, 2023, from 7am-11am.
The Tillamook Fred Meyer generously provides breakfast snacks for the children, volunteers, and Officers. A $150.00 gift card was given to each child to purchase gifts for themselves and their family. Many of the Officer’s dig into their own pockets to ensure the children are provided with something their heart is set on, that exceeds the amount donated to them. These children were selected by a committee through referrals. This committee is comprised of Tillamook School District staff, DHS representatives, TCSO, TPD and Tides of Change Staff.
Shop with a Cop gives children an opportunity to see law enforcement Officers in a different light building those everlasting relationships, many times just the look of joy on the children’s faces means the world to the officers helping them. This program is supported entirely by donations; financial contributions are collected year-round. TPD would like to thank the Tillamook County community & Friends of Tillamook Police for the money raised to make the event a success.
