The Taylorville Police Department will be holding their annual Kids, Cops, and Christmas Program, providing area children a brighter Christmas. This initiative is part of the Illinois Police Benevolent and Protective Association, and TPD is asking the local community to assist with monetary donations for gift-purchasing.

Sergeant Allen Mills of the Taylorville Police Department describes the Kids, Cops, and Christmas Program.

Donations will go toward the kiddos who need some extra Christmas magic, Mills says this is another program that creates a stronger bond between the city of Taylorville and their police department.

The Taylorville Police Department greatly appreciates all donations. Donations can be mailed or dropped off at the Taylorville Police Department, located at 108 West Vine Street in Taylorville. Checks can be made payable to PBPA Unit #16.
