PUYALLUP, WA - Local police officers took some lucky local kids shopping on Thursday during the department's shop-with-a-cop event. The shop-with-cops program pairs kids with police officers who take the kids shopping for presents for their families. The kids, who range in age from kindergarten to 6th grade, get a budget between $50 and $100, and the officers help them pick out gifts.

Here are some photos that Puyallup officers took during Thursday's event:
