In the early 1980s, members of the Culver City Police Officers Assn. wanted to host an event that would create goodwill between the department and the community.
The Santa Sleigh was born out of an idea that the goodwill that Santa Claus builds transcends all races and religions.
Since December1984, the C.C.P.O.A. has escorted Santa, his sleigh and helpers around the city streets of Culver City, making the Santa Sleigh a true, unique, and multi-generational Culver City tradition.
Weeks before Santa's big night out, aka Christmas, Santa and his sleigh are escorted Code Three — lights and sirens — by the Police Dept.’s custom show truck, black and white patrol vehicles, and police motorcycles.
The sleigh is staffed by volunteers from the C.C.P.O.A., their families, and friends of the community; which is as much as a tradition as the sleigh itself.
