Despite pandemic limits, 12 kids still get presents this year in PV’s annual ‘Shop with a Cop’ event

In its 10th year, Prairie Village’s annual Shop with a Cop event was transformed to fit COVID-19 safety measures. Above, Chief Tim Schwartzkopf (far left) and Maj. Byron Roberson (far right) stand with Santa and the Grinch during the drive-thru event. The coronavirus pandemic put a stop to a number of annual events this year, but Prairie Village’s 10th annual “Shop with a Cop” wasn’t one of them. Police officers in the city normally take 10 or so children shopping for gifts for themselves and their loved ones, but with COVID-19 still prompting limits on many activities, the department took a different tack.
