The children of four Northlake families got to “shop with a cop” on Dec. 15 for Christmas presents.

The Northlake police officers — all members of the Fraternal Order of Police Nagle Perri Memorial Lodge 18 — assisted children with shopping at Walmart and Sam’s Club. Police and local businesses donated money for the gifts. Walmart donated a $50 gift card and a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, plus a one-year membership.

This is the first year Northlake’s FOP has sponsored Shop with a Cop.
