Every year during the holiday season, members of the Absecon Police Department partner with the Atlantic County Toys for Kids Program to take part in our annual Absecon Police Department Christmas Toy Drive. It’s a hugely successful program that is growing every year because of the generosity of the public.

Members of the Absecon Police Department handpick families in our community to receive gifts each year. During the month of December donations are collected at the police department. A toy bin is placed in the lobby at City Hall.

Toys are delivered by Santa Clause with help from the Absecon Fire Department. Christmas comes early to the children in Absecon! The police and fire department parade around the city; it’s a wonderful memory the children of Absecon will remember!

Members of the Absecon Police Department look forward to this humbling experience each and every year. Without the help of our community, none of this would be possible. Our success is attributed to all those that donate!

If you are interested in the program or would like additional information, please contact Patrolman Keith Epstein #864 at
