It's all part of promoting positive relationships between law enforcement and kids in the community.

"It's all about building relationships between the cops and the young people. So building relationships we're connecting with them. We're working on making the community environment excellent," said Acting Milwaukee County Sheriff Richard Schmidt.

The Shop with a Cop event has been going on for the last 15 years.
