It has recently cone to my <br />attention that your employees have been giving free beverages to my <br />officers who come in to take a break at your store. Further, it appears) <br />that some of them park their squads in your fire lane and spend <br />excessive time in your store on unofficial breaks. <br />I appreciate the support that you have shown our department over <br />the years. I know you mean no harm nor do you expect any favors in <br />exchange for the free beverages-that you give ny officers. However, <br />there is a concern with the public perception of any impropriety by my <br />officers. It looks bad to have the officers take excessively long <br />breaks, to park in the fire lane, and accept any free beverages or : <br />snacks. ' <br />Please instruct your staff not to give my officers anything for <br />free. This is important because I don't want my officers to be tempted <br />to violate a department policy by one of v.ur employees who is just <br />trying to be nice. <br />I have enclosed a copy of a memo to my officers to give you <br />additional insight into this problem. <br />Thank you in advance for your help. <br />Cordially, <br />VW.v-^ A <br />Stephen X.
