Hardin County ‘Shop with a Cop’ Event Brings Holiday Cheer to 34 Local Kids

The 2024 ‘Shop with a Cop’ event is in the books.

Thirty-four kids from every school district in the county were taken on a shopping trip for their families this past Saturday.

After the shopping was completed, they returned to the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office to wrap the gifts.

Santa stopped in and gave each child a present and shared pizza with the kids.

Pizza Hut donated all of the pizzas, the Hardin County VIPS helped with wrapping and Fun-E provided decorations and stockings for the kids.

Participating in the event were all of the deputies from the Sheriff’s Office, Officers from the Kenton and Forest Police Departments, Officers from the Multi County Correctional Center and their spouses, family and friends.

Sheriff’s Office officials stated that the event would not be possible year after year without the financial support from the community.
