On Tuesday, December 8th, starting at 9 AM, the Morgan Hill Police Officers’ Association will be hosting our first Shop with a Cop event in Morgan Hill. On behalf of the POA, I invite you to join us for this wonderful occasion.

The MHPOA hosts a yearly golf tournament in order to fundraise. All funds raised are then given back to the Morgan Hill community during the holiday season. This year, we have chosen to host a Heroes & Helpers / Shop with a Cop event. Shop with a Cop pairs children from all Morgan Hill Unified School District schools with an officer. Each child is awarded a $100 shopping spree at Target and will shop with a Morgan Hill police officer.

Fourth grade teachers were asked to pick children based on the following criteria:
• The student is an example for others.
• The student is a leader.
• The student is self-motivated.
• The student is self-disciplined.
• The student is socially responsible.

This is an opportunity for the future leaders of our community to be awarded and recognized for their hard work and dedication to being role models. More importantly, this is an opportunity for these children to have a positive interaction with a local police officer in order to foster better relations and change perceptions. Over 110 children have been chosen to participate in this event. In addition to the funds raised by the POA, the event will also be partially funded by the CalGRIP (South County Youth Task Force) grant.

We hope you can stop by and join us for this fun event. The event will run from 9 AM to approximately 11:30 AM at the Target store on Cochrane Avenue in Morgan Hill.

If you have any questions, please contact Sergeant Carlos Guerrero at 408-461-0748.
