Students in Sarasota return to school on August 10, 2021.  Before students head back to class, the Sarasota Police Department, in partnership with our community, wants to ‘Pack the Patrol Car’ with new school supplies for the upcoming school year.

The Sarasota Police Department is accepting school supplies beginning Wednesday, July 21, 2021, through Wednesday, August 4, 2021, for the fourth annual ‘Pack the Patrol Car.’  New school supplies can be dropped off from 6 a.m. – 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Sarasota Police Department, 2099 Adams Lane, Sarasota. 

Following the ‘Pack the Patrol Car’ donation drive, members of the Sarasota Police Department will donate school supplies to the Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota and DeSoto counties in north Sarasota.  Supplies will be shared with students throughout the community the weekend before school begins.

The Sarasota Police Department is accepting new school supplies for all ages and grade levels to include backpacks, pencils, pens, highlighters, boxes of Kleenex, small bottles of hand sanitizer, folders, notebooks, glue, markers, crayons, erasers, notebook paper.  Members of the Sarasota Police Department will breakdown all donations by grade level before donating them to the Boys and Girls Club.
