SWAT Team Rappel Down Dressed As Superheroes For Hospitalized Children
The Longview, Texas Police department, and Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview came together to make some children’s Christmas very special this season.
On Thursday, December 21 at 9 a.m., LPD SWAT repelled down the side of the children’s hospital dressed to the nines in capes, tights, masks and superhero outfits and surprised children to make their Christmas memorable.
“Our SWAT Team members train diligently to use their skills whenever duty calls. Operation Christmas Cheer lets them demonstrate their abilities to the community and bring joy to children spending the holidays at Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center – Longview,” said Kristie Brian, Longview Police Department social media coordinator. “This has become an annual tradition for us and our officers love surprising the children in the windows and then visiting them in their unit to deliver gifts.”
“We are so appreciative to the dedicated officers at Longview Police Department for the joy and priceless memories they create each year for these children in their time of need,” said Todd Hancock, president and CEO Christus Good Shepherd Health System.
