Program – David Byers introducing Christmas with a Cop – Officer Ryan Moore. The Kosciusko County Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 149 hosts an annual “Christmas with a Cop” event in Warsaw typically in December at the local Meijer. The program pairs local law enforcement officers with around 130–170+ children to shop for holiday gifts, aiming to build community relationships and support families.

Key Details of the Program:

• Purpose: The event, organized by FOP Lodge 149, allows children from across the county to buy toys and clothes with officers.
• Location/Participants: Held at the Warsaw Meijer, it involves officers from the Warsaw Police Department, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office, and other local agencies.
• Support: The event is supported by local donors and sponsors like Lewis Salvage and FlowTech.
• Donations: Donations can be sent through FOP 149’s PayPal (FOP149@gmail.com) or by contacting local police departments.

The event commonly features Santa and Mrs. Claus and serves to brighten the holidays for children identified as in need
