Thank you to all SRO officers and cops down in Mesa County who participated in this program. What a wonderful concept.
"GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- Eleven area fifth graders were escorted around Mesa Mall on Wednesday, but they weren't in trouble. It was all part of the Shop With A Cop program.
Organizers say the program is a great way to help kids that are really in need and give them a very positive experience during the holidays.
For the past twenty years, kids in need have been chosen from area elementary schools to be a part of the program.
Mark Brown, who has been organizing the program for the past four years says that for "many of these kids, this is the only presents their entire family will get, possibly this year, but also this may be the first Christmas that they ever have presents..."
