MIRAMAR, Fla. (WSVN) – Santa Claus was a big help to the Miramar Police Department as they worked together to hand out presents.
Old St. Nick landed in Miramar on Wednesday to help police officers deliver presents to several families.
Many of these gifts were donated by tenants of Miramar Park of Commerce and Sunbeam Properties.
Officers said they enjoyed the opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer to the communities they serve.
“We need this because it really increases the bond between the community and law enforcement officers,” said Fraternal Order of Police President Brent Stephan. “This is not something they are paid to do. They come out because they want to give back to the community. You ask a lot of people, why did you become a police officer? Why did you become a police officer? You know, this is why it’s here.’
Children filled out last-minute requests on their Christmas lists before the big day and lined up to meet Santa and his elves.
