MCSO Deputy Elves Ready to Track Santa Across the Globe on Christmas Eve
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office is once again bringing holiday magic to local families with the return of Operation Track Santa 2025. On Christmas Eve, MCSO’s Deputy Elves will be on duty monitoring Santa Claus’ journey around the world, receiving live status updates straight from the North Pole as he makes his way toward Manatee County.
From 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, children across Manatee County can call the MCSO Santa Tracking Line at 941-747-3011, Ext. 2330, to speak directly with a deputy and get real-time updates on Santa’s location. Deputies will share where Santa has been spotted, how close he is to Florida, and whether it’s time for kids to head to bed so he can safely deliver presents.
Operation Track Santa has become a beloved annual tradition, offering families a fun and festive way to connect with local law enforcement while adding excitement to Christmas Eve. The program highlights MCSO’s commitment to community engagement and creating positive memories for children throughout the county.
Parents are encouraged to save the number and let their children take part in the experience as Santa prepares for another magical night of holiday deliveries.
