VICTORIA – Police officers from Victoria and Esquimalt donated their time on Wednesday to accompany a group of students while they did their Christmas shopping. 21 students were selected to take part in the 2nd annual Cop Shop program at Hillside Centre. Victoria Police Liaison officers chose students who showed leadership in their schools and in the community throughout the year. Each student was given a $200 gift card to buy gifts for their families and themselves. Michele Paget with Hillside Centre says Cop Shop is about building bridges and its a way for students to see police officers as people.
