Officers and other police personnel shopped with 29 students during the Bentonville Fraternal Order of Police’s annual Shop with a Cop event. Students had a budget of about $250 each to spend on presents for family members, teachers, loved ones, friends and themselves.
The toy aisles at the Walmart Supercenter were jam-packed Monday morning with children and police officers checking off Christmas wish lists.
