Non-Traditional Ideas
These ideas can’t really be put under the tree but they’re still awesome police officer gifts and will show them how much you care. Officers obviously care about the community since they work hard in it everyday to make it a better place.
- Let your children and other kids donate their stuffed animals to the police station. They keep them in their car to give out to scared children.
- Donate money to the local FOP (Fraternal Order of Police) in the police officers name.
- Donate items or money to a local charity they care about such as a woman’s shelter.
Start Badge Exchange Collection
Many police officers love official badges from different agencies. Find out if you can buy or receive some of the local badges from their department. Contact other departments in the area by email, phone, or mail. Ask them if they are willing to trade you one of their badges for one from your local department. You can now give your police officer the badge collection you have started for them. You can frame it or put it in a scrapbook. This also makes a fun thing to give every year. You can get them a new one each year to add to the collection.
