Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - More than 250 children will enjoy a holiday shopping experience at Macy’s at the Fashion Show Mall on Saturday as part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s annual Santa Cops event beginning at 7:30 a.m.
LVMPD Undersheriff Christopher Darcy will join officers in taking children from all over the Las Vegas valley shopping for toys and winter necessities in time for Christmas. Officers from each area command nominated children they knew were in great need.
Metro says those taking part in this year’s event have already been chosen.
Kids will get to hang out and talk with officers from LVMPD’s SWAT unit, K-9 and Armor section as they wait for Santa and Mrs. Claus to arrive at 7:30 a.m. Then the shopping begins.
This year’s Santa Cops event is bigger than ever thanks to contributions made to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation. Funding for Santa Cops is part of the Foundation’s Holiday Gift & Give Campaign where donations help law enforcement give back to the communities they serve.
