Shop With A Cop Deputy Marion having a little issue trying to hula hoop with a duty belt
Today was our Shop With A Cop event at Walmart. We can’t begin to explain how important this event is for us. Today we helped over 100 children with gifts. We want to take a moment and reflect on all of those that volunteered their time today; our volunteers, our law enforcement and civilian employees and Virginia State Police. Thank you Chaplain Josh Shifflett for reminding us why we were there. And last but definitely not least we thank you Nalini. May everyone have a very Merry Christmas.
We would like to congratulate Dekota Johnson and Kaitlyn Schmitt on their graduation of Basic Law Enforcement training held at Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training Academy.
Welcome to our family Dekota and Kaitlyn!
