12/22/20 – COVID-19 did not keep Florence FOP 33 members from our annual Cops and Kids festivities, though they looked quite a bit different this year. Lodge 33 members, with the assistance of the Family Resource Centers at each public elementary school in Florence, identified families in need of some additional Christmas help and gathered shopping lists for the families. Our members then shopped in small groups, without the kids present this year to keep everyone safe and healthy. The gifts were wrapped with care before being delivered to the families homes with several mini police parades.
Along with the gifts provided by a very generous donation from Meijer in Florence, breakfast biscuits compliments of Chick-Fil-A Mall Road in Florence were also handed out. We would also like to thank the NKY Keepsake Collectors Club for their generous donation in support of the event. We extend our sincerest thanks to these organizations for their continued support of the Florence Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police.
