Good LEOs far outnumber the bad ones.

I’d suggest finding a local pizza shop or sub place that likes law enforcement and paying them to deliver food to the local precinct.

Donuts and Coffee (I couldn’t resist).
I don't see anyone else saying this. And it is imprtant to understand:
Cops are just a reflection of the community in which they serve. Do you have bad cops? Then your locality is bad. Your local police force is just a representation of the people who hired them. And if your city is infested with democrats and progressives, then naturally your cops will reflect the low life standards of elected officials.
Having said this - I'm happy that your experience has been wonderful. Mine has too. I lived all my life in a happy harmonious suburb. With local officials like me. With cops like me.
Great people.
How about something simple like waving at a cop when you see one?
To be honest, I’m not sure if giving food is a good idea. They may suspect something bad and throw it away. in these crazy times, I can’t blame them. Gift cards for needed items would be good.
Police are a reflection upon the community that one lives live in.
You should call them first to see if they can even accept it.
I imagine a lot of police would be wary of accepting gifts from the public right now, so it might be better to first approach the police department Public Information Officer with the idea of giving them a gift card which *their* “trusted agent” can then use to get a gift more likely to be appreciated and enjoyed by them.
In a way I’m thinking of something like as was used for the “Adopt a Sniper” program in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most people were amazed by what actual snipers needed to make their lives easier. But soon the list mushroomed to hundreds of items, as they needed a lot of specialized but inexpensive things most people wouldn’t think of but were unavailable in theater.

I was talking about this to the wife today...there’s a station right near our house. I seriously thought about Krispy Kreme donuts, but I probably need to call before bringing food. It might be policy that they don’t accept food (for obvious reasons).
Also thought about making a sign that says “We support the police” and standing in their parking lot for awhile. If nothing else, I’ll visit and tell them we’re behind them 100%.
