Officer Eddie Torres, represented the Junction City Police Department's Shop With A Cop program and received a $200.00 donation from the JC Breakfast Optimist Club. Shop With A Cop is a joint program with Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA's) , who take youth who have been designated by their school's administration as being in need and would benefit from having an experience purchasing a Christmas gift for themselves at Wal-Mart.
The shopping usually follows a breakfast and social time with LEA's, which helps promote positive relationship
