The Arroyo Grande Police Department is proud to sponsor the 31st annual Santa Cop program. Santa Cop gives law enforcement personnel the opportunity to interact with struggling families in a positive way to bring the families, and especially the children, an even more special holiday season that for many would not be possible without this program.

Each and every child has a special and unique story, a story of excitement and appreciation that becomes so evident in their faces and voices when they receive their gifts from Santa Claus. We would not be able to continue to provide this program, year after year, without the compassion, concern for others in our community and the valuable assistance and gracious donations.

We are excited to partner with Chili’s Restaurant this year as host for the Santa Cop Program. Chili’s will provide a special breakfast for the families selected to participate in the program. Police Officers and the civilian and volunteer staff of the Arroyo Grande Police Department will join Santa Claus in presenting gifts and holiday festivities for all the families. The event will take place this Saturday, December 9th, at 8am.
