SDPD STAR/PAL Police Car

Ok. But this year was bigger than last year. I think the last count was over 350 cars from various agencies, local, state and federals. It was crazy long coming out of Sea World on to Sports Arena Blvd to Target.

Wow. I hope no one on sports area blvd was in a hurry to get anywhere....lol

Yeah, but I saw a lot of people out of their cars taking pictures. A lot of them didn't seem to be too upset. They were waving to us from their cars, maybe seeing the kids waving from our cars eased their tensions a bit.

When we were in Target as I was taking my kid around shopping for what he wants, an elderly lady came up to us and asked me what was going on. I explained to her what the "Shop with a Cop" was and how the kids are given a $100 gift card each to shop for what they want and Target waived all sale tax. The lady started to tear up and said that is such a wonderful thing and thanked us for taking our time to accompany the kids. We heard a lot of similar things through out the store as were shopping. It did make me feel good and makes me want to participate again next year. Its totally worth getting up early and giving up half of my day off to make a kid Christmas more cheerful.

Danny I definitely encourage you to participate again, the local PD for the town our store is in is pretty small but every single officer gets involved in our events some how, whether its Shop with a Cop, National Night Out, the Toys for Tots drive that we put on in front of our store with the Hanford PD SWAT team, which is actually this saturday. Both HPD and us as the stores AP team take great pride in our involvement with the community and we have some HUGE things planned for next year.

I'm planning on doing this again next year. Unless I have to work or on vacation or something else. It was a real good experience and great cause.
