Christmas with a Cop is a program that was designed to give kids a unique holiday experience while benefiting families that may need some extra help during the holidays. The program also helps to strengthen relationships between the communities and the police officers that serve them. For every $250 we raise, a child from the Copley-Fairlawn school system gets the opportunity to participate in the program and shop for Christmas while being accompanied by a uniformed officer. That morning, the kids are taken to breakfast and transported in marked cruisers.
Names of children in need are given to one of our Officers by the counselors from the school system or school administration. If anyone knows of a family or a child in the Copley/Fairlawn area that would benefit from this program, please forward their information to the Copley Police Department and we will have an Officer reach out to the family.
The program has been rewarding and very successful. Raffle tickets are available for those who would like to purchase them or sell them to help raise money for this worthy event. Donations are always welcome, and checks should be made out to Christmas with a Cop. Please either drop off or mail your donation to the Copley Police Department. In the past, we have raised over $1,000 which has allowed us to help over ten families.
