2024 marks the 40th anniversary of its Santa Cops program, which has provided toys and food to over 10,000 families since 1984. The initiative supports families who have been victims of crime and those in need during the Christmas season.
Today we sat down with some of the elves behind the scenes that make this incredible program run so that so many families in need can have a merry Christmas.
Former Dallas PD legend Chuck Young, now Victoria Texas PD Chief, in 1984 and grew this program into the holiday event it is today.
the Santa Cop program that started back in 1984 basically out of the trunk of a squad car. Mounted unit Larry Abney, Jerry Rhodes, and Captain Walker , Lynn Albright, Deanna Stratman, Lori Tittle, Jason Kennedy, Angela Arrendondo, Chuck and so many others made this program evolve for 4 decades.
