2026 COPS & KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT

Thank you for your interest in our Cops and Kids event. Our shoppers (participants) are recommended through law enforcement officers. Local law enforcement works directly with school officials and guidance counselors. The final selections are chosen from that pool of potential shoppers.
We are willing to consider your child(ren) for shopping with us. However, there are no guarantees that your child(ren) will be selected. If you have multiple children, if we select them, we may not select more than one child in your family. We work to help as many families as possible.

IMPACT Academy
In 2019, Corporal Jay Farmer created a summer program for Middle School students called the GFPD IMPACT Academy.
IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Partnership, Accountability, Community and Tenacity.
Our goal is to help create leaders and role models in our community. We want our kids to build skills that help them to mature into successful adults. We plan to do this by helping our students to be active, contributing members of our community. By seeing the impact that they can make, in a positive way, it will help them be more responsible with their decisions.
