Longview, TX Police Create Big Smiles With Blue Santa Program

There is no doubt about it, we have some amazing law enforcement officers here in East Texas that truly go above and beyond the call of duty to take care of our friends and neighbors. Recently the Longview, Texas Police Department pushed forward with another year of their Blue Santa program.

This is a non-profit organization that is sponsored through the police department to make sure kids in the Longview area have gifts around Christmas. This program has been going on for over 20 years now and as you will see with the pictures below I’m not sure if the kids or the officers have more fun picking out gifts.
