Shop with a Cop Builds Trust

(Farmington, MO) St. Francois County's annual Shop With a Cop program will be held December 16th at the Farmington Wal Mart. The President of St. Francois County's Shop with a Cop, Lora Henson, says it's an effort to make Christmas brighter for underprivileged children in the Parkland yet it also helps build trust between the Parkland youth and police, emergency responders, and firefighters.

Henson explains the program began in 1986. Over 540 children will be served by the program this year. For more information call the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department at 573-431-2777.
