Prairie Village Police Department

Did you know the Prairie Village Police Department hosts our Shop with a PV Cop program every holiday season? 🌟

Each December, our officers take about ten deserving local children on a special holiday shopping trip. Afterward, everyone heads back to the department for a pizza party, games, and gift wrapping – thanks to our wonderful volunteer “elves”! To top it all off, the children take home extra gifts donated by our generous area retailers. 🎁
