Santa Cops

Santa Cops Program Details

The Carbon Valley police departments, the American Legion, local businesses and individual citizens have successfully made Christmas wishes come true for many less advantaged children in Frederick, Firestone, Dacono and Weld County children attending tri-town schools.

The Santa Cops program has brought many smiles to many children since its introduction in 1997. It is a unique program in the way that we ask the local schools, churches, and friends or family to notify their local Police Department of a family that is in need of help during the holiday season. Each referral form requests specific gift ideas for each child. The Santa Cops volunteers then shop for each child making their gifts personalized and as special as possible. The rapid growth in Dacono and the surrounding areas has led to increasing numbers of children that need sponsors each year.
