30th Annual Shop with a Cop

30th Annual Shop with a Cop

CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Benton County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) is hosting its 30th Annual Shop with a Cop this holiday season. This eagerly awaited event fosters positive interactions between children and law enforcement, bringing together cops and social workers, to create lasting memories for local youth.

In partnership with Benton County Parole and Probation and the Department of Human Services’ Child Welfare office, a select group of elementary-aged children has been chosen to participate in this heartwarming experience in early December.

This year each child will receive a gift card, giving them the opportunity to select their own gifts on their shopping spree with public safety professionals from Benton County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State University Public Safety, Corvallis Police Department, and Philomath Police Department.

Shop with a Cop relies entirely on donations from law enforcement personnel and community members. Financial support is accepted year-round, and BCSO welcomes any contribution. Tax-deductible donations can be made via cash or check payable to “The Sheriff’s Foundation,” with “Shop with a Cop” noted in the memo. Donations can be mailed or dropped off at BCSO, 180 NW 5th St., Corvallis, OR 97330.

BCSO is grateful for the continued support of this program and looks forward to another successful year of bringing joy and strengthening bonds between law enforcement and the children of our community.
