Milan Police Department ushers in Christmas with annual ‘Shop with a Cop’ event

MILAN, Tenn. — One local police department is making sure children have a very merry Christmas.

The Milan Police Department held its annual “Shop with a Cop” event Thursday evening.

The procession started at 6:30 p.m., going from downtown Milan to Walmart.

Each year, officers let children shop for their most-wanted toys and other items.

Organizers say they can’t wait to do it again next year.
