This month’s spotlight on a member is our one and only, Blue Santa!
Blue Santa has been a part of the La Porte Police Department since 2011. Blue Santa began as just an idea, many, many years ago. However, throughout the years the idea developed, and shortly after became a reality. December 2011 Blue Santa was dispatched to the City of La Porte and his duties officially began.
Blue Santa arrived just in time to receive this year’s orders from Chief Pullig. His responsibilities include keeping track of the “naughty and nice” list, reading and receiving letters from kids, sleigh operation, and spreading Christmas spirit. As Christmas Day approaches Blue Santa, the La Porte Police Officers Association, and the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association team up to tackle their biggest task of the year, distributing gifts to Blue Santa Program participants.
When he’s not working, Blue Santa enjoys caring for his reindeers, judging snowball fights between his elves, and hanging out with Mrs. Blue Santa by the fireplace.
Blue Santa has been an incredible asset to the La Porte Police Department and the La Porte Police Officers’ Association. His dedication to spreading joy has made an impact on many residents of The City of La Porte.
Thank you, Blue Santa, for all that you do!
