Longview PD Blue Santa

Longview PD Blue Santa All children deserve to smile on Christmas Day. Christmas is one time during the year where the focus is on giving.

The Blue Santa "Shop with a Cop" event fosters a joyful experience where children and law enforcement share in fellowship. Why Blue Santa

It has been said, "No one calls 911 to tell police that all is well with their lives." In the course of a police officers’ routine work we often encounter children in circumstances and environments that are heartbreaking. Many of the children that police in

teract with only know Christmas as nothing more than a school holiday. Many of these kids are in single parent homes or family environments that are unstable. Many families must choose between gifts and basic utility needs, leaving little resources for presents at Christmas time. Regardless of the whys, all children deserve presents at Christmas. Who gets help

Longview police officers will recommend assistance to families at Christmas as we meet these children in schools, recreation centers, parks, and neighborhoods throughout the year. Officers may also receive recommendations from outside sources, such as churches, school counselors, and social workers, as well. How you can help

We need your tax deductible monetary assistance. This might be cash, check, gift cards, or other in-kind contributions that we can turn into a tangible gift for a child, even a new unwrapped toy. It is the goal of the Blue Santa Committee to average three toys per child.

The Longview PD Blue Santa program, a non-profit organization sponsored through the police department, has been helping bring Christmas to the children in the Longview area for over twenty years. This year, Blue Santa has partnered with Walmart and Longview Police Officers, Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, Gregg County Constable Precinct 1, Longview Police Explorers, Longview Citizen's on Patrol, Longview Fire Marshal’s Office, Longview Fire Department, Gregg County Sherriff's Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Hallsville Police Department, Chuck Boyce with the Tyler Police Department, and several volunteers for two nights allowing children to “shop with a cop” picking out presents and gifts. This event is hosted at the Walmart located at 515 E. Loop 281 and occurred from Monday, December 5th through Tuesday, December 6th.

This year with the generosity of the East Texas Community, Blue Santa was able to help 150 children have a better Holiday Season. Children and families received goodie stockings and free stuffed animals or books from Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center before getting to "shop with a COP." Officers were humbled and excited to be part of the event and make a difference in the lives of the children.
