Thirty-seven years ago, one employee of the Greer Police Department saw an opportunity to help local families who were struggling during the Christmas season.

That simple idea became Cops for Tots.

What began as a small effort to provide Christmas gifts for a handful of children has grown into a community tradition that helps local children experience the joy of Christmas each December.

For the Greer Police Department, Cops for Tots is about more than gifts.

It is an opportunity to partner with our community, strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the families we serve, and remind local children that their community cares about them.

For 37 years, businesses, organizations, families, officers and community members have helped make that possible.

Now, we are inviting the next generation of community partners to become part of the Cops for Tots tradition.
