Some departments don’t take gifts of food for fear that someone may poison them. My department graciously accepted them but then discarded them. Unless they know you personally it’s best to give a gift certificate.
I know a few detectives there. I’d be easy to find :)
Brought them food for minding the guy that robbed my house and last year after the brooklyn execution of those cops.
As long as the tie is still on from Buono’s.
Order pizza for them, have it delivered.
If they know the delivery guy I’ll bet they’d eat it.
My friend called both MPD and the MCSD to ask if it was ok. Both said absolutely and, in fact, the PA folks from both called to thank her.
A few years ago we were flying blue ribbons on our cars in support of our Police Officers. Time for another Blue Ribbon campaign.
Start by stop calling Police Officers by the derogatory term COPS, it is as offensive as WOP, SPIC, PIGS, FUZZ OR THE N WORD. They are Police Officers, Sheriff Deputies, or Hwy Patrol.
I bring them an ice cold, unopened can of 7up or Coke. With a smile and a nod I'll tell them, "Stay cool today, I'm with you guys." I always get a smile back.
You can ask where they order pizza, etc. and then order and have it delivered to the police.
But, I agree about food.
