A big thanks to Hop Shops, especially at our LaGrange location! Last year they began a 24/7 program to honor first responders, and this year they decided to choose a police department. Today they presented us with a certificate, hot food, snacks, drinks and t-shirts! Our department was chosen from 15 Hop Shops stores located in KY, OH and IN! We truly appreciate the recognition!
