During the December holiday season, police officers take the opportunity to go shopping with children who need a little help in boosting their holiday joy. The children are given a spending limit from donated money, and are assisted by the officers in making their purchasing decisions. The event not only helps increase happiness during this time of year, but it also helps build a positive relationship between the community and the police.
The 2007 event took place at the Mundelein Super Target.
