Kids got $200 to spend at the event; first on things they need, and then on toys.

FINDLAY, Ohio — The Fort Findlay Fraternal Order of Police hosted their annual Cops and Kids Go Shopping program at Meijer on Sunday.

The event was formerly known as 'Shop with a Cop'.

Police officers teamed up with kids, who got to walk up and down the aisles searching for the perfect gift.

Cops and Kids Go Shopping is just one of many events the Findlay Fraternal Order of Police chapter hosts for kids in the community.
