DPD’s Blue Santa Shop with a Cop

The Duluth Police Department’s Annual Blue Santa Shop with a Cop is back! Every year, the Duluth Police Department partners with multiple community outreach groups to help those in our community buy holiday gifts. Last year due to COVID-19, the Duluth Police Department wasn't able to do in-person shopping with those in our community. This year we'll join families at Target to shop for holiday gifts. 

A large donation by the Irving Community Club will allow 30 kids to use a $200 gift card to Target to shop for presents for their families. In addition to that, 20 families will also receive a $200 gift card to Super One.

“The Blue Santa Program is one of our favorite things to do with members of our community, because it allows us to spread some holiday cheer,” said Chief Mike Tusken. “The main goal of Blue Santa is to help those in our community enjoy the holiday season without the stress of the added expenses of gifts and holiday meals.”

The event will be held at 5 p.m., Tuesday, December 14 at Target on Miller Trunk Highway.
