Broomfield Police Urgently Seek Toy Donations by Dec. 11

URGENT UPDATE: The Broomfield Police Department is calling for immediate donations for its annual toy drive, ensuring local children in need receive gifts this Christmas. Community members are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys by December 11 at the police department located at 7 DesCombes Drive.

This year’s toy drive, also known as the Christmas Crusade, has a rich history dating back to 1983. The police department officially launched its own initiative, dubbed “Santa Cops,” in the early 2000s, aiming to spread holiday cheer among Broomfield’s youth. According to department spokesperson Rachel Haslett, children benefiting from the drive are nominated by police officers and teachers in Broomfield schools.

The most requested items include puzzles, art supplies, books, and gift cards. A comprehensive list of suggested toys is available on the city’s website. This is a crucial opportunity for residents to make a significant impact on the lives of children who may otherwise go without gifts this holiday season.

Donations are essential to ensure the success of this initiative. Officers and local educators highlight the importance of community support in making the holidays brighter for Broomfield’s youth.

As the deadline approaches, the police department urges everyone to contribute and help create a memorable Christmas for those less fortunate. Don’t miss your chance to make a difference—drop off your donations at 7 DesCombes Drive before December 11 and be part of this heartwarming tradition.
