Hosted by the Luna County Sheriff’s Office, more than 400 children in Deming and Luna County were treated to the annual holiday “Shop with a Cop” event at the Deming Walmart Super Center last Saturday morning. Each year, Deming Public Schools administrators work to identify students in need who will be candidates for the program. Each child receives a $50 gift voucher to shop for toys, clothes, shoes, and gifts for family members. The Shop with a Cop program was founded in the 1970’s to help foster positive relationships between youth and law enforcement officers across the country.
