HARRISBURG -- Police officers could be seen throughout Harrisburg's Wal-Mart SuperCenter on Saturday, but it wasn't a bust.

The officers were assisting some local families through Shop With a Cop, a program made possible by local donations that help local families have a good Christmas for their children.

According to Wal-Mart, the program was able to provide more than 320 children with toys, jackets and clothing for Christmas this year.
