Our Civilian of the Month for August – Carol Martin
Carol Martin has been the Richmond Police “Shop with a Cop” coordinator the past two years, has been with the Department six years and is the Civilian of the Month for August.
Each year dozens of children in need of school supplies and school clothes get the opportunity to go “Shop with a Cop,” courtesy of Altria, YMCA Bright Beginnings and the extraordinary coordinating efforts of Carol, who works in the Chief’s Office.
“My child missed the deadline to participate.” Carol’s got it.
“We need our child to be picked up last but brought home first.” Carol’s got it.
“We need another cop to shop with a kid – in the next 10 minutes.” Carol’s got it.
Somehow she manages to bring everyone together for each shopping adventure — volunteers and officers — and it all works out.
Great job, Carol!
