As December rolled to a close, the Lawton Police Department took a moment to highlight their heartwarming contributions alongside the community. Instead of donning their usual uniforms while tackling crime, officers engaged in lively holiday events, demonstrating that they are just as invested in community spirit as they are in public safety.
From participating in the F.O.P. Shop with a Cop to help kids experience the joy of holiday shopping, to teaming up with the Lawton Fire Department to ring bells for the Salvation Army, their dedication shone through. Raising over $4,600 for families in need, the department proved that when it comes to community outreach, they’re all in. Who knew that a bit of bell-ringing could pack such a punch in generosity?
The Lawton Police Department isn’t just about patrolling the streets; it’s about building meaningful relationships with residents. Expressing thanks for the kindness and support from the community, they underscored how these engagements make their mission impactful, not just during the holiday season but year-round. The department aims to continue these community partnerships into 2026, spreading the spirit of togetherness.
After all, who wouldn’t appreciate a little holiday cheer with a side of crime-fighting? It’s clear—the collaboration between law enforcement and the community is as sweet as freshly baked holiday cookies!
