The Bozeman Police Department is pleased to announce that the 10th annual “Shop with a Cop” event will take place Tuesday, December 21st, 2021. This event brings law enforcement agencies from throughout the Gallatin Valley together to help less fortunate children enjoy Christmas.

Local elementary school staff chooses the children who participate in this event. Each child is matched with a law enforcement officer who takes them shopping to buy gifts for their family. This year, the event will take place at Walmart.  

After shopping with the children, officers will help them wrap presents and enjoy some pizza from Domino’s.  

Generous support for this event comes from Walmart, the Bozeman Police Foundation, Target, and the public.  

This is a great chance for these kids to experience a positive one-on-one interaction with law enforcement officers in the area. All of the agencies are excited about this opportunity to share the holiday spirit and provide a happier holiday season to these children.

This is the sixth year that Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies have joined the Bozeman Police Department in coming together as a team to serve more children. Those interested in donating to this great event may contact the Bozeman Police Foundation or drop off a donation at the Bozeman Police Department.
