On Tuesday July 28, 2026, the Rhinelander Police Department will be participating in the Police Lights of Christmas Cops at Culver’s event. During the lunch and dinner rush, members of RPD will be serving guests, delivering meals, and interacting with customers at Culver's while helping raise funds for a meaningful community cause.

BIG NEWS!! Santa will be leaving the cool air of the North Pole and coming to the Rhinelander Culver’s at 5:00pm-7:30pm to enjoy this event with any children who may want to get their Christmas wish list in a little early this year. Friends of Santa will also be at the event for free face painting from 5:00pm-7:30pm.

Police Lights of Christmas is a Wisconsin law enforcement charity that provides local officers with gift cards they can distribute around Christmas time to individuals and families experiencing unexpected hardships. All money raised by the Rhinelander Police Department during the Police Lights of Christmas events will be converted into gift cards to be handed out to community members in need.

If you are not able to attend the event you can donate directly at: https://lightsofchristmas.us/ or scan the QR code on the flyer, just scroll to the Rhinelander Police Department patch for easy access to directly donate to the Rhinelander Police Department total.
