Blue Santa Program:

Q: What do you get when you put a police officer and Santa Claus together?

A: A BLUE SANTA!

A BLUE Santa is making a stop this Friday to celebrate the bravery of the late Sergeant Tate Allen Lynch of the Casa Grande Police Department. The Mesa Police Association (MPA)’s first annual “Operation Blue Santa” is delivering gifts to the Tate family in efforts to make this Christmas special for the grieving family.
Sgt. Lynch died October 25, 2007, from head injuries sustained in a SWAT Team training accident. He leaves behind a wife and three children; (8 year old son, 6 year old daughter and a 10 year old daugher).  MPA’s Blue Santa will arrive at 1 p.m. in a patrol car with gifts for the whole family.
