MVPD hosts Shop with a Cop

 The Mt. Vernon Police Department held this year’s Shop with a Cop at the Mt. Vernon Walmart on Monday, Dec. 21. The Mt. Vernon School District picked four children to take part in the event. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, each child was given $200 to spend however they wanted, as long as they stayed within budget. Each child was accompanied by members of the Mt. Vernon PD as they went on their shopping spree. Above, Eurixi Crawford, 9, picks out a pair of jeans at the Mt. Vernon Walmart with the help of Officer Jennifer Riebe. (Photo by Steve Chapman)
