Shop with a Cop
A special holiday program that brings local law-enforcement officers and children together for a memorable day of shopping, friendship, and Christmas cheer.
On December 5, the Polson Police Foundation and Polson Police Department plan to provide 20 local children with $200 each to shop for Christmas gifts at Walmart. Each child will be paired with an officer who will help them select gifts for themselves and their families.

How the Day Works
Shopping at Walmart
Each of the 20 children is paired with an officer and given $200 to shop for Christmas gifts for themselves and their families.
Lunch & Gift Wrapping
After shopping, everyone gathers at New Life Church in Polson for lunch and gift wrapping together.
One-on-One Time
More than presents, the day gives children an opportunity to spend positive, one-on-one time with the officers who serve their community.
Why It Matters
Shop with a Cop is about building trust, strengthening relationships, and ensuring that local children know their community cares about them.
Help Us Reach Our $5,000 Goal
The Polson Police Foundation is working to raise $5,000 to cover the children’s shopping money and program expenses. Donations of any amount will help make this Christmas experience possible.
