Maryland's annual “Shop with a Cop” event a huge success – 47abc
MARYLAND – The Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack, in collaboration with the Worcester County Child Resource Intervention Center Kids Empowerment Team or CRICKET, proudly hosted their annual “Shop with a Cop” December 14th.
The Berlin Police Department, Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Ocean City Police Department, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources officers joined in to help with the festivities.
This year, 32 children were identified by the Worcester County Board of Education.
Each child was sworn in as an honorary “auxiliary” police officer before boarding the Maryland State Police bus and heading to the Walmart Supercenter in Berlin. They were provided a law enforcement officer partner and money to purchase holiday gifts for themselves and their families.
After their shopping adventure, the children enjoyed lunch generously donated by West Ocean City’s Chick-fil-A.
