Cops for Kids
The Tuscola Police department operates a “Cops for kids” program, established by Officer Scott Reed, in 2009. The program provides Christmas gifts to under-privileged children in our community. Under the program, the department conducts fundraising activities and solicits monetary donations from local businesses and individuals prior to the holiday season. Tuscola Police Department staff work with the parents, guardians and caregivers of the children to make sure the children get the holiday gifts they want and need. The staff shops for the gifts, wraps them and hosts a party for the kids to get their gifts. If donations allow, new school clothes, family dinners or other needed items are also provided.
2024 Cops for Kids Applications are due November 30, 2024, but may close earlier if the program is full.
If you would like to donate to our Cops for Kids program, you may mail your contribution to the Tuscola Police Department (204 N Parke ST), Tuscola City Hall (214 N Main ST), drop it off at City Hall or drop it in our water payment drop box in the front of City Hall.
