Shop With a Cop

For the first time ever, DRPS organized Shop with a Cop, in partnership with The Oshawa Centre. The inaugural event saw 21 kids get partnered with an officer to to search for the perfect presents! 

DRPS Chief Moreira welcomed members who volunteered and participants as they sat down for a complimentary breakfast provided by Baxter's Landing. Organizer Cst. Dave Lewis thanked all members for volunteering in this year’s Shop with a Cop before sending them off to see the big man himself – Santa!

The participants also received tickets to see the Oshawa Generals play over the holidays!

The children chosen for Shop with a Cop are selected from recommendations based on need, recognition of specific academic or sports achievement or because of volunteer efforts that are making a difference in the community. 

The Oshawa Centre generously provided a donation and a voucher to have their photos with Santa and free gift wrapping. Thank you to Baxter's Landing, The Oshawa Centre, PADAN,  Pro Action Cops for Kids and The Oshawa Generals for making this event possible.
