Dallas law enforcement teams up with children from the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center for a heartwarming ‘Shop with a Cop’ event, where over 100 kids receive $100 Target gift cards to shop for holiday gifts, bringing joy and comfort during the season.

Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue joined forces for the annual ‘Shop with a Cop‘ initiative, gifting over 100 children from the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center $100 each for a special shopping spree at Target.
