This has been a annual event for the department for many years. CPD School Resource Officer Kevin Atwood and Family Resource's identify families that might be in need during Christmas. Some children are identified by the officers who are often stopped while on patrol and ask for assistance.
The gifts where delivered to the homes where officers got to spend time with the children. We are very blessed to be able to help out at this time of year and would like to give a special thanks to Murphy Well Service and another special donor who wished to remain silent who helped us raise the funds for this project.
Chief Cross and all the officer's with the Columbia Police Department wish everybody a Merry Christmas and hope everyone a safe Holliday season !!
