Shop with a Cop in Albany Brings Christmas Smiles
Monday, December 14th, 2015
Albany area police officers showed up in force at an Albany store Saturday morning, but the reason wasn’t a public safety concern. They arrived at the Kmart on Dawson Road for some kids — more that 100 of them, each ready to be paired with a personal “cop” for the beginning of a tour through toy land.
Saturday was “Shop With a Cop” day. For more than 30 years, it’s been a program of the Albany Fraternal Order of Police designed to provide toys for underprivileged kids and to create a little one-on-one time for children and officers.
