Cocoa with a Cop returns on December 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 212 N. Partin Drive. The department said families are invited to stop by, enjoy a warm drink, and take in the lights throughout the municipal complex. Christmas trees will be available, and children may get a visit from Santa during the evening.
The gathering has become a familiar stop for many residents, offering a relaxed way for families to enjoy the season and spend a little time with the officers who serve the community.
As part of the event, visitors are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped gift for Toys for Tots. The department said these donations help brighten the holidays for local children.
