Write a letter of commendation. Send it to the chief of police. Write about your general appreciation of police officers and their hard work. Write about a specific incident where you observed service "above and beyond the call of duty".
Write a letter to the editor.
Wave. When you see an officer, give them a friendly greeting or gesture.
Speak uplifting words of appreciation. Watch for occasions to say thanks when it will not distract the officer from their performance or duty.
Do not permit unjust criticism in your presence. When someone starts to put down a police officer, speak up and turn the conversation into positive appreciation for all the good police officers.
Sponsor appreciation days at your church, club or service organization. Some churches conduct special prayer services for police officers and firefighters.
If you see "service workers" eating in the same restaurant as you, talk to the cashier. It is usually much easier than you think to get the total of their check. Pay it. Include a good tip. Request to remain anonymous. You will find the cashier is happy to help you. Afterwards, tell no one. Your satisfaction is to do a good deed done well. If you tell or brag about it, you lose all of your good karma!
