U.S. Secret Service and Westchester County Police Bring Holiday Cheer to Arc of Westchester
This morning, the United States Secret Service and the Westchester County Police Department escorted Santa in a Presidential motorcade to Arc of Westchester's Children's School for Early Development and Arc of Westchester's Gleeson-Israel Gateway Center.
At Arc of Westchester's Children's School for Early Development, the children were thrilled to see Santa arrive with a fleet of cruisers as a helicopter hovered. Santa gave gifts to all of the children and officers brought two Labradors from the canine unit to spend time with the children.
At Arc of Westchester's Gleeson-Israel Gateway Center, representatives from the U.S. Secret Service and Westchester County Police Department answered questions from nearly eighty self-advocates with developmental disabilities and autism about personal safety. The self-advocates also enjoyed checking out the Presidential limousine and spending time with the canine unit.
