Walk Away from Drugs
To celebrate Red Ribbon Week, the Bullhead City Police and Fire Departments host the annual Walk Away from Drugs and 5K - a community event promoting drug-free living and healthy choices.
The event also includes a Poster Contest, encouraging young artists to create visual messages against drug use. The goal is to engage students creatively while reinforcing the importance of drug prevention in our community.

Gather at Ken Fovargue Park, 2255 Trane Road, at around 4:30 p.m. No pre-registration is necessary, and the event is free! Medals will be awarded to the 5K first place female, male, and under 18 runners.
About Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 in honor of DEA agent Kiki Camarena, who was killed by drug traffickers in Mexico City. The red ribbon has since become a national symbol of the commitment to live drug-free.
“You can’t police a community without knowing the community. Building relationships is not just part of the job — it is the job.”
Shop with a Cop
Spirit of Giving – Each December, more than 100 local children in-need experience the joy of the holiday season with public safety personnel during the annual Shop with a Cop program.
The morning begins with breakfast at the Elks Lodge, followed by a parade of patrol cars - with lights and sirens - escorting the children to Walmart. Each child receives a $150 gift card to shop for holiday gifts and has the opportunity to take a photo with Santa.
Participants are selected through the local school system, giving children who are less fortunate a memorable and positive experience with police officers.
The Shop with a Cop Board thanks all the volunteers and donors who make this event possible to help brighten a child’s Christmas.
Fraternal Order of Police
Santa Sleigh
Each December, Santa and his helpers ride through Bullhead City neighborhoods on a sleigh - escorted by police patrol cars - to spread holiday cheer.
Children line up to share their Christmas wishes and receive a candy cane from Santa himself. The event is free and open to all families.
The FOP Santa Sleigh also travels to dozens of area schools with our public safety partners and other local elves.
The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #50 has brought this tradition to the community for over 20 years, delivering smiles and holiday spirit throughout the city.

Bicycle Safety Rodeo
The Annual Carrie Edgmon Bicycle Safety Rodeo promotes safe cycling habits for children in our community. The event is sponsored by the Bullhead City Police Department, Bullhead City Fire Department, Walmart, and Western Arizona Regional Medical Center (WARMC).
Children ride through a series of obstacle courses to practice real-world safety skills and learn the rules of the road. Bullhead City Police officers provide instruction and guidance throughout the event.
Participants receive a free helmet, courtesy of WARMC, and a complimentary bicycle inspection and tune-up from Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers. The Bullhead City Morning Kiwanis generously donates all bicycle parts used for repairs.
