Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank, fellow officers and civilian employees will join with other members of law enforcement for “Shop With A Cop” Saturday morning, December 6.

For more than 20 years the Salt Lake Police Association has taken the lead in organizing the annual holiday tradition for law enforcement across the Salt Lake Valley. This year, officers from a dozen agencies will volunteer their time to help as many as 100 children do their Christmas shopping.

The event starts at 6 a.m. at Little America, where children are paired with a police officer. Together the dynamic duos eat breakfast, convoy in police vehicles to Kmart — where Santa will arrive by Utah Highway Patrol helicopter — and then shop for Christmas gifts for the children and their families.
