About the Program

The Carbon Valley Santa Cops program is an annual event in which the Firestone, Frederick, and Dacono Police Departments provide a gift, warm winter clothing, and necessities to underrepresented children in the Carbon Valley area during the holiday season. 

Starting each fall, this nonprofit program is made possible because of generous businesses and individuals who donate gifts and money to benefit children and families. By early December, with all the shopping complete, volunteers and local officers come together for a day of wrapping before gifts are delivered to the children by mid-December.

How Can You Help?

  • Give a Gift: Purchase an unwrapped child’s toy/clothing for ages birth to 16 years and return it to the Firestone Police Department.
