Re: Discretionary Lottery Fund request for 2008 Shop -with -a -Cop program
This memo accompanies a Deschutes County
Economic Development Fund Discretionary Grant Program Application
The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is already making plans for the 2008 Shop -with -a -Cop
program. This year will be the eighth year we've coordinated this program. While the Deschutes
County Sheriffs Office is the coordinating agency, this program would not be possible without the
assistance of other local law enforcement agencies, the general public and the dedication,
cooperation and generosity of local Wal-Mart stores and associates.
This year's dates are:
• Tuesday, December 16th, 2008, Redmond Wal-Mart (Sisters/Redmond students)
• Wednesday, December 17th, 2008, Bend Wal-Mart (Bend -La Pine students)
• Thursday, December 18th, 2008 (COPY program and any "extra" kids)
Shop -with -a -Cop is a joint venture with local Wal-Mart stores in Bend and Redmond. With the ielp of
local FAN (Family Access Network) advocates and local school personnel, disadvantaged students
at each public school throughout Deschutes County are identified. Those students who are selected
then participate in a one-on-one shopping experience at a local Wal-Mart with a uniformed police
officer. Since its inception in 2000, Shop -with -a -Cop has continued to grow and each year, we ve
been able to gradually increase the number of participating students. In 2007, we took 98 students
shopping. They purchased gifts for approximately 435 family members; including getting something
for themselves, 576 people had a little brighter Christmas. We try and make it a practice to "sr read
the wealth", meaning that we identify new students each year to participate, attempting to limn
shoppers from prior years.

For the 2007 program, we raised approximately $28,785; $6,000 of that came from a generous
donation of discretionary lottery funds from Deschutes County Commissioners. We hope that we can
count on that same level of support towards this year's program, either singularly or collectively from
all three Commissioners. Public support from local citizens and businesses provides the bulk of the
funding for this program, and any funding from the discretionary grant program is always a good "kick
off' for the overall fundraising effort.
if you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at
541.388.6648, or by email at crarvd(@_deschutes.org. You can also contact Laura Conard, who is the
current Community Policing Coordinator, at 541.383.4431 or by email at lauramt�deschutes.orq.
Thank you so much for your participation and consideration!
