In an effort to spread holiday cheer to Flower Mound families in need, the Flower Mound Police Department and Flower Mound Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association are teaming up for the annual Santa Cops program.

Donations and gifts for the program will be accepted through December 12 and distributed prior to Christmas to deserving Flower Mound children who might not otherwise receive a gift from Santa. Those interested in referring a family for the Santa Cops program, must submit that information by December 5. These donations provide an opportunity for local police officers to make Christmas brighter for a child, while also strengthening the bond between Flower Mound families and first responders.

Residents who would like to make a donation in the form of a new, unwrapped toy, gift card, or check can drop items off at the following bin locations. For a complete list of drop-off box locations, please visit the FMPD webpage.

For questions about contributions, contact the Santa Cops Chair Doug Graves at doug.graves@flower-mound.com or at 972.874.3339. For larger donations, or to notify program coordinators of a family that might need Santa Cops’ help at Christmas time, please contact Officer Justin Buck at crime.prevention@flower-mound.com, or at 972.874.3357.
