The Calvert County Shop with a Cop Program has two annual events: Back to School Shop with a Cop and Christmas Shop with a Cop.
Back to school shopping takes place in August, while the Christmas event, of course, happens in December. It is sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police of Calvert County, along with the Optimist Clubs of Calvert County. Members and staff of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office volunteer with the event, along with members of the Maryland State Police, Maryland Natural Resources Police, and other local law enforcement agencies.
The Shop with a Cop program joins underprivileged children with local police officers, providing the children with money to shop for school supplies in August and Christmas presents for themselves and their families in December.
