Since officers and area children can’t shop together for this year’s Shop with a Cop event, Brodhead police will make special deliveries to participating children on Dec. 19.

The holidays are back, and so is the Brodhead Police Department’s Shop with a Cop event.

Things will look a little different this year, but the department still wants to bring joy to area children and families in the area — even if they have to get a little more creative.

In previous years, officers would be assigned a child taking part in the event and meet them at the Monroe Wal-Mart. From there, the children would select a toy from their wishlist, and staff from the various departments would wrap the present. To top it all off, participants would have a chance to enjoy some refreshments with Santa.
