CLEARLAKE — On Christmas Eve, members of the Clearlake Police Officers Association assisted Santa Claus in delivering toys to several families in the City of Clearlake. This has been a tradition for the Clearlake Police Officers Association for more than 15 years. Throughout the year, members of the Police Officers Association meet a lot of families and children who are going through difficult times. Through theses contacts, families are chosen and contacted to see if they would like a visit from Santa Claus. Police officers collect handwritten letters from the children and deliver them to Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus was given a personal escort to deliver toys to the children, which this year resulted in twenty children receiving a visit from Santa Claus.
This program means a lot to the Clearlake Police Officers Association and has been successful because of community support. The Clearlake Police Officers Association would like to wish the community we serve a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season.
