[ARCHIVED] Santa Claus Participating in Ride-Along Program Beginning Monday, December 19th

Santa’s Ride-Along begins on Monday, December 19th, and his tour finishes on Thursday, December 22nd. At 5:30 p.m. each night, Santa will join one of our officers and patrol an assigned “beat.”  Depending on call volume, Santa will spend between one to two hours in each patrol beat: Monday in “A,” Tuesday in “B,” Wednesday in “C,” and Thursday in “D” (see link below for beat map).

Would you like to see Santa Claus in a HPDPS patrol vehicle? On Monday, a hyperlink will be added to this page so you may track Santa in real time.
