WESTMINSTER, Colo -- The WPD Santa Cops Program is back!
WPD's Santa Cops Program helps bring holiday joy to nearly 200 children each year by supporting families experiencing difficult times.
How to Help:
- Drop off new, unwrapped toys, clothes, shoes, etc. at the Westminster Public Safety Center (9110 Yates St)
- Drop off wrapping paper and tape at the Westminster Public Safety Center (we cannot accept gift bags as each gift is individually wrapped for easy delivery)
- Donate to the Westminster Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit through their venmo. (Please include "Santa Cops" and your email in the memo line)
The last day for donation drop-offs is Monday, Dec 7.
At this time, nominations for the program come directly from our officers, Victims Services Unit, School Resource Officers (SROs) and school staff, who help us identify families in need. We’re very grateful for the community’s generosity and understanding. If you'd like more info, please email the Special Events and Engagement Team.
