June 3, 2022 · PCT8, POLICE

It's donut day and we are all smiles here at the station! It is no secret police love donuts but have you ever wondered why.

In the late 1950’s, donut shops were open late. It was the perfect spot for police officers working the night shift to have a donut and a cup of coffee and also work on reports. Over the course of time, the stereotype became that cops loved donuts. Truth is, we actually love coffee more!

We hope you have a chance to enjoy a donut today. Happy National Donut Day!
