Snacks- Snickers, M&Ms, Beef Jerky, Trail Mix, Peanut Butter Pouches.
One day I asked my police husband where he usually eats the lunch that I pack him. Sometimes he says he doesn’t have time to eat. When he’s out in the field, he’s typically not able to return to the department. My husband’s response shocked me. He said, “We usually find a space, quiet place where we won’t be targeted, park the police car, and eat on the front of the police car. I don’t want to get anything on my uniform.” The fact that they fear being targeted just to eat a meal is sad. Any snacks they can eat neatly on the go is great! My husband says that he especially likes snickers & M&Ms. These bulk snickers, M&Ms, beef jerky, trail mix, and nut butter packets are wonderful useful gift ideas for police officers.
Hand Sanitizers & Bleach Wipes
Law enforcement involves quite a bit of nasty jobs. These practical gifts for law enforcement officers will definitely be used. Here are some bulk hand sanitizers and bleach wipes.
Pain Relief Packets
Many police officers have injuries if not just pain due to carrying physically heavy loads and running daily. Mini Pain relief packs are perfect useful gifts for police officers.
Chapstick & Body Wipes
Police officers often work overtime shifts or a night shift followed by court. They can shower at the station, but these body wipes and chapstick allow officers to refresh quickly as needed.
Good luck with your small appreciation gifts for police officers at local police departments!
