Occasionally out of their element on the toy aisles at the Greencastle Walmart Supercenter, about a dozen volunteers from the Putnam County Fraternal Order of Police take care of Christmas shopping for the upcoming Operation Santa Drop, set for Wednesday, Dec. 20. Representing the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Greencastle Police Department, DePauw Police Department and Bainbridge Police Department, these cops completed Christmas shopping for about 35 children Tuesday morning.
