Christmas will be a little brighter for about 50 children this year, thanks to the annual Shop with a Cop sponsored by the Great Bend Police Department and the Great Bend Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 23. While it is a long-standing tradition to take children to Walmart and give them a gift card, Police Chief Steve Haulmark said the cards weren’t for very much money. On Monday, he asked the City Council to approve a $4,000 transfer to the FOP account so they can boost the amount.
