HOPE – Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton says, “Due to the Coronavirus and the concern for the health of our children our HCSO OPERATION CHRISTMAS Shop with a Deputy has been cancelled for 2020. We have had to cancel all of our fundraisers this year and we just don’t have the funds that normally come in.”

Sheriff Singleton said his office plans to continue the program in 2021 and “hopefully we can raise the funds to do so.”

Singleton added, “I ask that everyone continue to pray for our Deputies and other Law Enforcement agencies through out the state and nation as they continue to report for duty despite the challenges they face.”
