Vehicle Theft Prevention & Awareness
The Bullhead City Police Department is hosting a free Vehicle Theft Prevention and Awareness event featuring free VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) etching to help deter vehicle theft.
Join us on Saturday, November 21, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Bullhead City Police Department, 1255 Marina Boulevard. Officers will share vehicle theft prevention tips and resources, provide free VIN etching and give away free steering wheel locks to those who own 2011 to 2021 Kia or Hyundai vehicles with a steel key ignition. Keyless entry and push to start vehicles are not affected.
Steering wheel locks will be available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.
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.
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.
Red Ribbon Week
Sticker Design Contest
Congratulations to Christian Jocobi, a fourth grader at MALC, whose original design won our Red Ribbon Week Sticker Contest!
We received SO many wonderful submissions from young artists. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their creativity and powerful drug-free messages!
Christian’s winning design was made into professionally produced stickers and shared with children throughout our community during Red Ribbon Week and other events. He also received a $50 Walmart gift card courtesy of Bullhead City Shop with a Cop.
* The Red Ribbon Campaign is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program. The campaign began in 1985 after the murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena by drug traffickers in Mexico. Red ribbons became a symbol of intolerance toward drug use and continue to represent the commitment to living a drug free life.
