On Saturday, December 15th, at 8:00 AM, the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack along with law enforcement agencies from across Worcester County, will join the Worcester County CRICKET Center in hosting its 6th Annual Shop With A Cop event. The Worcester County Board of Education has identified 28 elementary school students from throughout the county to participate in this year’s holiday event. Each of the students will be paired with either a Trooper, a Deputy or an officer from one of our local agencies. The officers will be giving the children a tour of the Berlin Barrack, show and tell with police vehicles, and a meet and greet with a friendly four-legged K-9 partner.
The students and their law enforcement partners will then by transported, via MSP Bus, to the Berlin Wal-Mart where each of the students will be provided $100 to spend as they wish as they “Shop With A Cop.” After shopping, participants will be provided lunch as volunteers wrap gifts the children have bought for family and friends.
This event has continued over the past years with the generous support of Wal-Mart and the National Wal-Mart Foundation, Harbor Marine in West Ocean City, Denovo’s Trattoria Restaurant in Ocean Pines, Chic-fil-A in West Ocean City, Atlantic Physical Therapy in Ocean Pines, the Makemie Memorial Presbyterian Women, private citizen donations, the Worcester County Board of Education, the Worcester County Health Department, the Worcester County CRICKET Center, and the men and woman, both sworn and civilian, of the Maryland State Police and local law enforcement.
