BACK TO SCHOOL SHOP WITH A COP
SEBA has proudly offered Shop With a Cop for years, traditionally hosting shopping sprees in December. But as community needs grew, it became clear that support was needed well before the holidays.
In response, SEBA created the Back to School edition—giving kids a $200 shopping spree to buy clothes, shoes, backpacks, and supplies for the school year.
SEBA members, including deputies, probation officers, and investigators, pair up with each child, helping them budget and pick out what they need.
These events aren’t just about shopping—they’re about connection. Kids get to have fun and bond with law enforcement in a positive, personal way. That time together is priceless.
“Events like this remind us that meaningful partnerships make all the difference. Whether it’s through a backpack, a new pair of shoes, or a friendly smile from a local deputy, we’re proud to stand with our public safety partners to make sure these kids start the school year with confidence.”
2025 BACK TO SCHOOL SHOP WITH A COP
Thank you to the incredible support from the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians for making this year’s event successful.
For this year’s event, SEBA proudly partnered with the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians to host our annual Shop with a Cop – Back to School event.
Held at the Yucca Valley Walmart, this special day brought together law enforcement officers, tribal communities, and local families to help children gear up for the new school year.
Thanks to the incredible support from the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, we were able to serve 53 children. Personnel from the Morongo Sheriff’s Station, CHP, and Twenty-Nine Palms Public Safety joined in to help kids shop and share in the excitement of back-to-school preparation.
