Tulsa police hold annual Shop with a Cop Saturday

TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Fraternal Order of Police and the Rotary Club of Tulsa helped give some special students a Christmas they’ll remember on Saturday.

Since 2002, the Rotary Club of Tulsa hosts the annual outreach event to provide a positive impression of police officers to Tulsa children.

Rotarians and police officers met with the children at Walmart and went over their wish list of presents for their parents and siblings, Tulsa police said.

Several dozen officers and Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin took part in the event.

While the officer and child browse the aisles shopping for family members, a Rotarian secretly shops for the child, Tulsa police said.

About 30 students from Celia Clinton Elementary attended Saturday’s shopping event.
