Humboldt children, families come out for ‘Shop with a Cop’

HUMBOLDT, Tenn. — Many Humboldt police officers were outside Walmart Tuesday night, but it was all for a good cause.

Twenty children and their parents shopped with Humboldt police and firefighters at the Humboldt Walmart.

It’s all for the annual “Shop with a Cop” event. They received $180 to buy Christmas gifts.

“The most enjoyable part is I live in the community, I’ve got kids and grandkids, and there’s nothing like seeing a child with a smile on their face being able to pick out what they want,” Humboldt Police Chief Reynard Buchanan said.

Humboldt teachers picked the deserving families and children.
