On the day of the event, the child and officer are paired
together during an opening breakfast. The child and the officer then
drive with lights and sirens blaring to the store where they then spend
the next hour to two hours shopping. Together the child and officer
purchases a gift for each of the child’s immediate family member.
Between 30 to 40 children from all over Bonneville County and officers
from IFPD, the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho State Police,
Idaho State and Bonneville County Probation, Idaho Fish and Game and
volunteers from the Idaho Falls Citizen’s Watch Patrol participate in
the program.
