NACOGDOCHES, Texas — The annual Shop with a Cop coordinated by the Stephen F. Austin State University Police Department recently took place at the local Walmart and successfully served more children and garnered more donations than expected.
 
The police department’s goal was to sponsor 20 children at a total cost of $3,000. However, officers were surprised to receive almost $5,000 in donations, enough to sponsor 24 children. Support was so good, in fact, that the department plans to have a second event next year called Christmas in July.
