| Santa Cops of Larimer County is a
non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide Christmas gifts for
children in Larimer County who may not have one otherwise. Since 1986,
local law enforcement agencies and local businesses have joined together
with our community to provide needy Larimer County Families with a Merry
Christmas. The law enforcement agencies involved include: the Colorado
State Patrol; Colorado State University Police Department; Fort Collins
Police Services; Larimer County Sheriff's Office and Loveland Police
Services. Involved as well are many private individuals, corporate
sponsors and area businesses. The names of our recipients come from churches, schools, Larimer County Human Services, community based organizations and officers who observe families needing assistance. Santa Cops additionally provides children positive interactions with Law Enforcement Officers. The program builds relationships by creating a pleasant and enjoyable experience with Law Enforcement Officers. Children need to experience officers as caring people who are willing to provide positive support. Santa Cops is strictly a volunteer organization in which all donations go to the children. Volunteers are needed for many different areas: fund raisers, toy pickups, sorting, making craft items for sales and so forth. In addition, to promote public awareness and raise funds we participate in community based events throughout the year. For more information about Santa Cops contact Board Members at
