BEYOND THE BADGE
TIP-A-COP
"Tip-a-Cop" is a fundraising
event that raises funds for
the local San Luis Obispo
County Special Olympics.
Members of the community were invited to meet public
safety employees, explore emergency equipment, watch
demos, learn how to do CPR, enjoy snacks and take a tour of the Public Safety building.
Every child had the opportunity to meet with Santa, take a photo, and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Santa and his elves also handed out bags with department swag.
