Bad boys beware. Santa is all business when he covers a patrolman's beat on Christmas Eve.

Police officers take an oath to protect and serve-even on holidays. But during a peaceful graveyard shift, one cop is short on yuletide cheer. Even loyal patrolmen wish to spend time with their families. Can a jolly old sergeant rescue him from a night at the doughnut shop and deliver him to his family?

Paying tribute to all the officers in blue, this night before Christmas story was written by the founder of Santa Cops, a policeman's charity. Michael D. Harrison and other members of the Conover, North Carolina, police force deliver donated toys and clothing to underprivileged children.
