2025 Holiday SHOP with a NJ COP Program
🎄👮♂️ SHOP with a NJ COP – A Day to Remember 👮♀️🎄
The FBI Newark Citizens Academy Alumni Association was proud to host SHOP with a NJ COP, a heartwarming community event that brought together law enforcement, first responders, families, and local partners for an unforgettable day of connection and joy.
The event began with static vehicle displays featuring Law Enforcement and First Responder vehicles set up in front of the BJ’s Warehouse entrance a highlight for children and families alike.
Children had the unique opportunity to shop alongside their assigned officers, followed by a full day of activities including delicious food and refreshments, Coffee/Chai with a Cop, gift wrapping, and many other family-friendly experiences. Laughter, smiles, and meaningful moments filled the day.
Special thanks to our partners and supporters:
BJ’s, Joseph Lyden, John Dangler, our Law Enforcement partners, COS Adams, Detective Robert O’Hare, Sergeant Sherika Salmon, Suzanne Diszler, Rev. Thomas Dawson, our generous sponsors, and our incredible volunteers. This event would not have been possible without support of our members and donors.
Together, we strengthened community bonds and created memories that will last a lifetime.
