Lombard’s Shop With A Cop planning has started! 

This year’s event takes place in December and is a great start to the holiday season.

The purpose of Shop with a Cop is to help bring  gifts and joy to children and their families who live in the community, while fostering positive relationships with law enforcement.

Lombard police officers pick up the children from their homes and bring them to Lombard Village Hall, where they are escorted in a convoy of squad cars to go holiday shopping at Dicks Sporting Goods and the Yorktown Target store.

The children go shopping for gifts for their parents and family, with help from Lombard police officers. Volunteers from the Lombard Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association help wrap the gifts and host a lunch.

At the end of the event, the children are driven home in squad cars filled with gifts, cookies and gift baskets. This event is made possible by fundraising efforts of the Lombard Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, Lombard FOP #270, and donations from local businesses and individuals.

 Thank you for your donations and support of this community event.
