Shop with a Cop- Jefferson County, WI Inc.

12/16/2025

On Saturday, we held our annual Shop with a Cop of Jefferson County shopping event. Officers and Deputies from across Jefferson County spent the day shopping alongside kids from our community. This year, 38 children were able to participate.

We kicked off the day by meeting Santa, pairing each child with an officer, and taking group photos. Each child was given a budget to purchase items and toys—not only for themselves, but also for their family members. It’s always heartwarming to watch how much thought and care the kids put into choosing gifts for their parents, siblings, and loved ones.

Once shopping was complete, the kids rode the bus to the VFW, where they wrapped their presents while enjoying snacks and pizza.

A special thank you goes out to Amanda, our bus driver from Dousman Transportation, Kwik Trip of Jefferson, Walmart of Jefferson, The VFW, Brock Whiting Photography, and all the community members and local businesses whose generous donations helped make this special day possible.

Many thanks to The Randy Schopen Memorial Foundation. You are making it possible to brighten the holiday season for many families!

The Randy Schopen Foundation is pleased to support Shop With a Cop of Jefferson County with a $2,000 grant. The Sheriff’s Department works with Jefferson County Human Services to identify children in need to give them the opportunity to interact with law enforcement to shop for Christmas gifts of toys, clothing and other necessities, followed by a gift wrapping pizza party. Last year, 32 families benefited from this program, and the goal is to be able to increase that number. Representing the Randy Schopen Foundation is Bill Meinel presenting the check to Captain Chad Roberts of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.

For more information or to support this project, please contact Captain Roberts at 920/674-7319
