ALTON - The Alton Police Department took 50 kids on a shopping spree for this year’s Shop With a Cop event. On Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, officers and students from Alton Community Unit School District #11 went together to Target with approximately $200 for each kid to buy whatever they wanted.

Some of the kids come prepared with lists they’ve made and they know what they’re doing. Some of them just wander through the aisles.
