Donate a new backpack and take a spin in a police car.

The Scottsdale Police Department is already gearing up for next school year’s Back to School drive in hopes of collecting 600 backpacks. The fun happens from 3-7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, at McKellips District parking lot, 7601 E. McKellips Road. The ride will take place on a short, closed course and is available for anyone 12 and older. There will be some fun photo opportunities for those too young to ride.
