The Voice of our Nations Law Enforcement Officers
In May of each year FOP #109 hosts our annual Cops and Kids Fishing. 4th and 5th grade students are invited to come to learn about fishing. Not only do they get to spend time with some great officers, but they also get to take home a new fishing pole and tackle box.
In December of each year, FOP #!09 hosts our annual Cops and Kids Holiday Shopping. In 2024, 193 kids and 73 officers participated. This is more than about shopping, it is about building a positive relationship between the kids and officers.
In the Spring, Ohio State Highway Patrol, FOP #109, and local bike shops work together to pass out bikes to kids in Wood County that do not have a bike of their own. OSP Troopers deliver these bikes to the kids at their homes. Most of the time, this is their first bike of their own.
This is more than about shopping, it is about building that positive interaction between the officers and the kids.
