Last night, on December 15, 2023, Sheriff Rick Staly and the Flagler County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) hosted its annual Shop With A Cop event. Flagler Sheriff's Children's Charities, a tax-deductible 501(C)(3) charity established by Sheriff Staly in 2020, hosted this event to provide holiday gifts to children in the Flagler County community who would otherwise may not have a holiday.

‘Shop With A Cop’ is part of the mission of the Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities and is sponsored and supported by FCSO employees, local businesses, and community sponsors. The goal of ‘Shop With A Cop’ is to help children and families who are struggling due to economic circumstances, are victims of domestic violence, or have been placed in foster care.

Shop with a Cop was held at Walmart in Palm Coast. The event kicked off with law enforcement Deputies and Officers from FCSO, BPD, FBPD FHP, FWC, and FCSO COPs picking up the children at their homes and going to the new Sheriff’s Operations Center to play games, interact with law enforcement officers and participate in other fun holiday activities. Santa arrived on a modern-day sleigh, arriving by a helicopter provided by Attorney Dan Newlin.

The children and Deputies then traveled to Walmart, escorted by the FCSO Motors Unit with lights and sirens. Each participating child received a $200 gift card where they had the opportunity to shop for themselves and family members. After the exciting shopping trip, children and their families were served hamburgers, hotdogs and a host of holiday treats in Walmart's garden center.

    Es ist so schön zu sehen. Bewahrt euch diese schönen Traditionen und lasst sie nicht von der Generation Z kaputt machen. In Deutschland gibt es leider nur noch wenig Hoffnung. Herzliche Grüße aus Luebeck, Axel Abo habt ihr natürlich!

    Please help American citizen children. It seems illegal immigrants come first.

    Love that you do this but think you’re missing the wrong group this year. The middle class kids that parents don’t get assistance because they make too much. Middle class isn’t getting help with higher food bills, insane home insurance, increased electricity, medical. At least lower income get programs to help. Middle class folks are at the verge of loosing their homes because they can’t afford mortgages when they suddenly increase 50%+ due to insane insurance.
