They’ve got the law on their side
50 local kids given a chance to Shop with a Cop By Jude Kaider CORRESPONDENT
The Antioch Police Department lent Santa Claus a hand when they escorted more than 50 children in a pre-holiday party during the 12th annual Shop with a Cop event on Dec. 8. The evening’s proceedings included face painting by artist Sue Nolan, a movie, a pizza party, a gift from Santa, a trip to Raymond Chevrolet in a motorcade of squad cars for another gift, and finally a trip to Walmart where the children were given a gift card and were then paired with a police officer who escorted them on a shopping trip throughout the store. The Antioch Police Department joined with School District 34 in identifying families with youngsters between the ages of 5 and 12 who would participate. The department invited those children along with their parents or legal guardians to the station where the partying began for one of two Shop with a Cop sessions. After watching a movie, eating, singing, and rubbing elbows with Santa, the children and officers got ready for the second leg of their holiday journey. The participants packed themselves into police squad
cars and two Chevy Suburbans donated for use by sponsor Raymond Chevrolet. They rode in a procession, with lights flashing, down Main Street to Highway 173 in a scene that must’ve mystified other drivers and pedestrians alike. The youngsters were welcomed to the applause of the owners and staff of the auto dealer and received more gifts from the employees at Raymond. From there, it was on to Walmart for shopping, photos with Santa, and Christmas treats provided by the store. Once at Walmart, each child was presented a $100 gift card and a police officer as escort, and allowed to walk the store to get their Christmas shopping done early. Not surprisingly, most of the children headed first to the toy department where the filling of shopping baskets eagerly began. The police provided valuable assistance, as one young shopper was heard to comment, because “he can reach for the toys on the high shelf that I can’t reach.” After the event, Police Chief Steve Huffman said, “As a police department, it

JUDE KAIDER Hi-Liter
Adrion Griffin, 5, assisted by Antioch police Sgt. Dawn Geraty, finds the perfect Christmas gift – for himself – during the 12th annual “Shop with a Cop” event at the Walmart in Antioch Dec 8. More than 50 children picked by District 34 first gathered at the Antioch police station for a pizza party that included face painting, a movie, singing, and a gift from Santa Claus. A processional of Antioch squad cars, with lights flashing, next took the children to Raymond Chevrolet where they were welcomed by the staff and received another gift. The parade continued to Walmart where each child was presented with a $100 gift card and an Antioch police officer as an escort for a shopping excursion throughout the store. In addition to the police force, sponsors of the event included Walmart Super Center of Antioch, Raymond Chevrolet, Antioch Pizza, Antioch Automotive, C & R Wrecker, Fox Towing, and the Antioch F.O.P. Lodge #210.
