BLMers #givingback: Rangers bring holiday cheer to local youth
BLM Rangers, David Moffett and Moses Rinck, from California’s Needles Field Office recently participated in a “Shop with a Cop” event organized by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office, Needles Station.
Nineteen local area youth were paired up with law enforcement officers to ride in a parade, with lights flashing, and be driven to the local Walmart. With guidance from their law enforcement partners, each child received a $200 gift card to purchase gifts for themselves and their families. The highlight of the event was Santa arriving via helicopter to wish the youngsters a very holiday season.
The highly successful program is focused on providing a positive law enforcement interaction for children who have had family members on the wrong side of the law.
