ALBION – Several members of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office – deputy sheriffs, marine deputies, corrections officers and volunteer clergy – joined 14 children last Saturday in “Shop with a Cop” at the Albion Walmart.
The store provided a $5,000 grant, up from $4,000 in 2023, for the Sheriff’s employees and representatives to help kids pick out gifts for their family members.
