The Auburn Police Officers Association sponsored the inaugural Shop with a Cop event last Saturday at Walmart, next to the Auburn SuperMall.

One child from each of the Auburn School District’s 14 elementary schools was chosen by their schools to participate in the event. Each child was given $100 to spend on their families while they shopped with an Auburn police officer. The child also was treated to lunch with an officer at Subway and received a $25 gift card from Target.

The APOA, a nonprofit organization, would like to thank Walmart, Subway and Target for supporting the event.
