This program is all about building strong relationships with our youth and continuing to build upon our relationship with our great community.”

They continued, “Our outreach efforts run year-round, with four major events: the THPD Block Party, the 1st Responder Rally, Halloween Festivities, and our favorite—Operation Save Christmas. During that event, every local kindergartener visits THPD Headquarters to meet Santa and help us catch the Grinch. These moments are not only a lot of fun, but they also help build trust from an early age, while showing kids that the police department is a welcoming place to be.”
