Select Douglas County children will be able to "Shop with a Cop" Saturday morning at the Target store in Highlands Ranch.

The children were chosen by Douglas County Human Services and the Douglas County School District as those in need of both a brighter Christmas and the friendship of deputies.

Children will arrive at the store at 10 a.m. , and each will be paired with a deputy to help them shop for gifts.

"Shop with a Cop" is made possible by donations from the public and from sheriff's deputies, as well as the support of Target stores.

"The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is honored to have the opportunity to brighten the holiday experience for these families," Douglas County Sheriff David A. Weaver said in a statement. "And we hope to make this an annual tradition for many years to come in our community."
