Shop with cop
Ten members of the Bainbridge Island Police Department recently volunteered with more than 100 officers from 11 agencies to participate in the annual Kitsap Shop with a Cop event at the Poulsbo Walmart.
The nonprofit Kitsap Shop with a Cop raises money throughout the year to provide a little extra during the holidays for kids in need. Each child is paired with a “Cop,” who helps the child with shopping. This year there were about 165 kids from the Olympic Peninsula, including kids from the BI Boys and Girls Club.
Volunteers from the community, members of the military and family members of the officers helped out, along with Santa, of course.

Correction
BI parks employees and volunteers who decide not to be vaccinated can keep their positions if they are tested weekly for COVID-19. A story in last week’s paper did not fully explain the situation.
