The Peterborough Police Service And Lansdowne Place Mall Team Up For 12th Annual Cop Shop
/The Peterborough Police Service and Lansdowne Place Mall are excited for the 12th Annual Cop Shop, a cherished holiday tradition for officers, mall staff and local children.
Started in 2006 by Peterborough Police Constable Leanda LeVasseur, Cop Shop partners a Peterborough Police Service officer with a local child based on good school citizenship, volunteer or academic achievement. The schools select the children that participate in the program.

HOW COP SHOP DAY WORKS
-> The children arrive at the mall in a limousine and are provided breakfast courtesy of Tim Hortons.
-> They are also generously provided with a $200 gift certificate from Lansdowne Place to spend on holiday shopping for family and friends.
-> The officer becomes the child’s personal shopper for the day and a bond is quickly formed. (All of the officers that participate in the program are volunteering during their off-duty time.)
-> Mall shops provide the kids with additional discounts and treats.
-> Purchases are wrapped and tagged by mall staff, and by volunteers from the community and the police service. Lunch caps off the event followed by a complimentary photo with Santa and their officer friend.
-> The students then enjoy a limousine ride back to their school courtesy of Welsh Limousine and Ulimate Limousine.
