Annapolis PD Goes Back-to-School Shopping With Local Students

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Officers with the Annapolis Police Department will be spending time with kids as they prepare to head back to school. The officers will be taking middle school students on a back-to-school shopping spree Thursday, July 16, at 1 p.m. The shopping excursion is being made possible with a Target Public Safety grant.

Officers will be paired with a child for a one-on-one shopping outing at the Towne Centre Target store where the officers will help the kids pick out school supplies and uniforms to help make sure they are ready to head back to the classroom.

Participating children are selected by the Annapolis Police Department's community outreach program personnel. This charitable project is one of several community outreach programs by the Annapolis Police Department that fosters building trust between the police and the community. The Annapolis Police Department's Community Outreach program already performs over 800 events annually in the community, many focused on children's programs.
