Christmas in July
The Shop with A Cop Program has been a huge success in Lake County and a program which has meant a lot to the community and those who have assisted with the event. This event started with the generosity of the Bay Area Deputy Sheriff’s Charitable Foundation after the Valley Fire in 2015. Members of the Lake County Deputy Sheriff Association (LCDSA) as well as other law enforcement employee associations contributed money and their time to make the Shop with a Cop a success in the past.
In July of 2017 members of The Lake County Deputy Sheriff’s Association held a fundraising dinner at Boatique Winery called "Christmas in July". The event raised enough money to increase the Shop with a Cop Program in December 2017. During the Shop with A Cop event, each child was paired with a law enforcement officer to spend $200.00 on items that they wanted and/or needed. This shopping experience provides children with an opportunity to interact with a law enforcement officers and create positive lifelong memories with law enforcement.
