KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Shoppers will notice police cruisers parked outside three Target stores in Overland Park this month.
It's part of the annual "Fill the Cruiser" fundraiser.
The police department will use the donations to fill 300 backpacks for students in the Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley School Districts.
"Everybody is battling something," said Ofc. Anthony Garcia with the Overland Park Police Department. "For us to be able to provide, and for the community to give back to our students, this helps them get a jump start to a great school year."
The donations will be given out during the annual National Night Out event on August 5, 2025.
