According to Buffalo Police Chief Jason Carder, the Operation: Blue Santa was started 6 years ago and Dispatch Officer Erica Schwal explained the purpose of the program to Big Horn Mountain Radio…
Calling it a “saturated time of giving”, she noted that such a program requires the generosity of the community itself…
Schwal and Patrol Officer Brian McCarter were selected by Carder to oversee the program along with the “random acts of kindness”…
Those random acts of kindness will be accomplished on one unannounced special day before Christmas, but the Blue Santa program will continue through the Christmas season.
Anyone wishing to support either program are encouraged to contact the Police Department.
