A Special Visit from a Familiar Face! 👮‍♂️🎁 Yesterday, the Cullman Police Department had a surprise visit from Dominic Wood, one of the incredible kids from our 2024 Shop with a Cop event! He stopped by to see his buddies, Miss Heather in records and Sgt. Adam Walker—who happened to be off duty—but we made sure Dominic didn’t leave empty-handed. He picked up some CPD swag, a department patch, and even got to see his photo proudly displayed in our lobby! Our Shop with a Cop program is more than just a holiday tradition—it’s a powerful way to build trust, create meaningful connections, and leave a lasting positive impression on the lives of children in our community. Moments like these remind us how small gestures can make a big difference. 💙 We’re already looking forward to this year’s event and the smiles it will bring! #CullmanPD #CommunityFirst #ShopWithACop #PositivePolicing #CPDFamily
