The Pleasant Prairie Professional Police Association is proud to announce that the 5th Annual Pleasant Prairie Shop with a Cop and Firefighter charity event will be held on Saturday, December 11. Shop with a Cop and Firefighter is a way for members of Pleasant Prairie's Police Department to give back to the community by helping local families who may not otherwise be able to celebrate the holidays in a traditional manner.

Children from underprivileged families pair off with a Pleasant Prairie Police Officer or Firefighter and select gifts for their family members. "It's a great way for children to interact in a positive manner with emergency service professionals in the community," explained Police Chief Brian Wagner. "But more importantly, it ensures that struggling families will be able to share the joy of the holiday spirit. This is a great deal of work each year, and I am proud of the Association's desire to do this on an annual basis."

The Pleasant Prairie Professional Police Association is now accepting donations in support of this year's Shop with a Cop and Firefighter. Those wishing to donate may do so in person or by mail at the following address: Pleasant Prairie Professional Police Association; Shop with a Cop; 8600 Green Bay Road; Pleasant Prairie, WI 53158. Members of the department wish to sincerely thank all those who have been so generous in the past with support for this program.
