Canton Police Hosting "Shop with a Cop"

The Canton Police Department would like to announce it will be hosting its annual “Shop with a Cop” on Thursday, December 13, 2018, at 5:45 pm. and is currently accepting applications and referrals from local schools. This annual event will take place at the Target store, located at 2022 Cumming Hwy, Canton, GA. 

Canton Officers and Police Explorers will be giving gifts to children who would not ordinarily be receiving much if anything this year. Officers will be helping approximately 20 families in need this Christmas season. The Police Department has received donations from local business and organizations to help support this cause and Officers were able to participate in "No Shave and Paint your Nails November and December" which raised approximately $1,200.00 for this vital program.

The Canton Police Department strongly believes in a “Mindset of community, Attitude of Service and Heart of Protection. Officers know their purpose is to make a difference in the lives of our children and families in our city and the surrounding communities. The goal of Shop with a Cop is to not only financially help families but to build trust and a positive relationship to let them know they have someone to turn to when faced with a potential crisis.
