PEORIA POLICE OFFICERS TRADE TICKET BOOKS FOR SERVING TRAYS DURING TIP A COP FUNDRAISER

Peoria Police Officers will take their commitment to “serve” and protect to new heights, taking orders instead of giving them this Friday at Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in Peoria.

This is the 2nd year PPD officers have partnered with the staff at Cattlemen’s to benefit Special Olympics. Off-duty officers will work as waiters and waitresses, serving customers for “tips” which will be donated to Special Olympics. All “tips” are a tax-deductible donation to Arizona Special Olympics. It’s a fun-filled night that bonds the community, allows the public to help a great cause and meet local law enforcement officers who will serve meals throughout the night.

Special Olympics is a grass-roots movement that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities through more than 200 programs in 150 countries around the world.

The Tip-a-cop event will be held this Friday, July 29th from 5pm – 9pm at Cattlemen’s Steakhouse located at 16840 N. 83rd Ave. (83rd Ave. just south of Bell Rd.) in Peoria.
