The MetroWest “Shop with a Cop” event was started by Framingham Police in 2015 along with the Ashland, Holliston, and Natick Police Departments. Since 2015, the event has grown to include additional departments across the MetroWest. During this time, MetroWest police departments have provided clothes, toys, food, bedding and support to more than 2,700 children and families in the area.
“I want to thank our local law enforcement partners for joining us in this wonderful event to give back to those in need this holiday season,” said Acting Chief Burman. “I would also like to thank the Walmart employees for welcoming us and helping us bring smiles to these kids throughout the day. If we made at least one child’s wish come true this holiday season, then I consider it a success.”
