The Atlanta Texas Police Department is giving children charges of “Happy Birthday”, but it does have to be premeditated. With kids forgoing birthday parties from restrictions with the COVID-19 pandemic, officers with the Atlanta P.D. are among many across East Texas that are doing what they can to spread some joy.
Media Release:
If you live inside the city limits of Atlanta and your child, or a child you know of, has a birthday coming up and they are bummed because they can’t celebrate with their friends and family because of the Covid-19 pandemic that is going on……we want to make their special day a little bit brighter ( and louder ). Give us a call and we will do a drive-by parade of police cars and fire trucks with lights and sirens going to wish your kiddo a Happy Birthday.
Call the Department at ( 903 ) 796-7973 and let Dispatch know what day you need the Birthday Drive-By and we will get you taken care of.
*Please give us advance notice so we can gather up as many police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances as possible to make the Drive-By as big and loud as possible
