Sirens and Sleigh Bells

This month, the Paradise Valley Police Department proudly participated in "Sirens and Sleigh Bells", an initiative dedicated to helping less fortunate children during the Christmas holiday. Funding was made possible through the recent Paradise Valley shred event.

There were ten children in total from Kiva Elementary and Cherokee Elementary who received a code 3 police escort (lights and sirens) to Target, where they could each pick out presents for themselves or their family members. It was a fantastic event that the officers and the kids all enjoyed!
