Junction City police are reporting their biggest turnout ever for Shop with a Cop, the program that provides needy children with a breakfast and Christmas gifts. There were 99 kids that participated in the event last Saturday. 

Representatives from eight different law enforcement agencies participated. They included the Junction City Police Department, Geary County Sheriff's Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Grandview Plaza Police Department, Riley County Police Department, Chapman Police Department, Fort Riley Military Police and Fort Riley Criminal Investigative Division.

Volunteers from the Second Missionary Baptist Church prepared the food and helped serve the children. Others also volunteered to help with the effort.
