Delaware State Police Operation Christmas Wish

The Delaware State Police Community Outreach Unit sponsored an initiative to give children from less fortunate communities throughout Delaware an opportunity to receive Christmas Toys from Santa. This event was held on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at the 9-1-1 Emergency Operations Center in Sussex County, Troop 3 in Kent County and Troop 2 in New Castle County.

The Delaware State Police Community Outreach Unit made contact with elementary school counselors, student resource officers and community organizations in each county to determine which children participated in the event. Operation Christmas Wish received toy donations for elementary age children.

The Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security, the Delaware State Police and the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement officers worked together with the communities of Delaware. The goal of the project was to assist our families throughout the state in making sure their children have a great holiday season. We serve the citizens every day in their time of need for law enforcement services and we really enjoyed the opportunity to interact with families in a friendly and cheerful setting. This holiday community program reached several families and approximately 150 excited children.
