How do I commend or express gratitude for the services of police employees?

Our employees are compensated fairly, and they have entered into this line of work because they genuinely want to serve the public. Tips or gratuities are simply not necessary, and in many cases they are illegal and can result in a lot of trouble both for the giver and the receiver. A simple “thank you” goes a long way, but letters to the Chief or to elected officials commenting on your positive experiences with our employees are also an excellent way to show your appreciation.
