Making Christmas Happen

After Jessica Shaw’s SNAP benefits were stolen, TPD officers—supported by the Tulsa Police Foundation—stepped in with groceries and holiday gifts so her children could still celebrate. “For her to come and basically give me everything that I need to make Christmas happen for my kids, I was just in shock,” she said. The surprise not only restored her hope but shifted her view of the police—from enforcer to ally.
