The Cops-N-Kids Reading Program is the vision of Racine Police Officer Julia Burney. The program started out with officers distributing books to area children while on routine patrol. The concept caught on and the residents pitched-in. Officer Burney was named one of Oprah's Angels, and the program grew nation wide.
Thanks to the Tupelo Police Department, Mayor Ed Neely, the Tupelo City Council and Sargent Katarsha White, Office Burney will be giving books to the students at Church Street Elementary School.
