For the 19th year, Natrona County law enforcement is taking kids Christmas shopping. Shop with a Cop runs December 12 and 13, 2026 at both Walmart stores in Casper.
Officers pair up with children ages 3 to 12 to shop for gifts for themselves and their families. It’s one of those programs that builds trust between kids and the people in uniform, one shopping cart at a time.
The Natrona County Sheriff’s Office runs the program alongside the Casper Police Department, Wyoming Highway Patrol, Wyoming Game and Fish, and the Evansville and Mills Police Departments. Each family also gets a holiday meal basket from First Lady Jennie Gordon and the Wyoming Hunger Initiative.
Families in Natrona County can apply through November 13, 2026, and will hear back the week of December 1. First-time families get priority and a waitlist is kept. Paper applications are available at any participating law enforcement agency in the county.
