The third annual Summons of Joy campaign kicked off at the Florissant Police Department. Churches in the Florissant area donated $9,800 to this program which gives officers with the Florissant Police Department the opportunity to give out 98 $100 Target gift cards to individuals\/families that are in need this holiday season.<\/p>\n

This program helps the police department build positive relationships with the community that we serve. The gift cards will be handed out randomly to unsuspecting recipients over the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

Officers who had the opportunity to hand out these Summonses of Joy last year received many different kinds of reactions including hugs, tears of joy, disbelief, and many handshakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to team up with our local churches for the third consecutive year and be given this opportunity to help others this Holiday season. It really shows the generosity of our community,\u201d said Chief Tim Lowery.<\/p>\n
