On December 8, 2022, members of The Southampton Town Police Department, The Southampton Town Police Explorers, the New York State Police, Westhampton Village Police and HUGS participated in a “Shop with a Cop” event sponsored by Walmart Stores. The event was an outstanding success helping children and families from Southampton Town bring holiday cheer to the season. Walmart in Riverhead provided a large donation along with Southampton Town Superior Officers Association, Southampton Town Policeman’s Benevolant Association, Westhampton Village Policeman’s Benevolant Association, Hugs, Inc. provided additional funds to the program . We would like to especially thank Walmart and their employees who were so welcoming and assisted us in spreading this holiday cheer. It brought much needed joy.
The program has been a highlight of our officers year allowing us to bring joy to deserving families especially this year which has been so tough on our community.
If you would like additional information about the program please contact Lieutenant Susan Ralph at sralph@southamptontownny.gov
