http://www.cabq.gov/police The ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT had their 18th, annual Cops for kids program on Sunday, December 9th, 2012. Each year approximately 100 under privileged children participate in this one day event. Each child is paired up with an Officer or Deputy for the day. The child is be picked up at their home and taken to a full breakfast provided by Furr’s Fresh Buffet. After the breakfast a lights and siren caravan takes place and heads to Wal-Mart where they are greeted by Santa and his elves. Each child is given a $100.00 gift card and is required to purchase much needed items such as clothes or shoes, after which they are allowed to purchase other items they desire.
Each child is also given a Back pack (provided by Bernalillo County Sheriff Department BCSD) that is filled with toiletries. Each family is given a turkey and all the fixings for a Christmas dinner. The children are then taken to IT’Z Family Food & Fun to eat and play games. At the end of the day, each child was returned home with their items and will have experienced a joyous holiday.
The children are referred by the Albuquerque Public School Title 1 homeless project and carefully selected by the Detective Coordinator (Det. Rosemary Gallegos.)

APD please stay away from my children. You think it's a great example to kids driving around in a convoy illegally blasting sirens in residential areas? We're aware that you wan to let the public know they can't do anything about the noise pollution because you can't complain to the corrupt APD. Even worse they're trying to recruit the young minds of our community into the helpless cycle of violence that the APD promotes. ðŸ‘Good going APD!
Cute male cop at 2:43 in black.
