Each bag included Life Savers for the number of times police have been one; Smarties to give them wisdom for split second decisions; Hersey Kisses to show them some love; gum to help everyone stick together; Mounds for the mounds of courage police regularly show; Tootsie Rolls to roll with the punches; Peppermint Patties to help them keep their cool; and Laffy Taffy to remind officers that laughter is a great stress reliever.
“They were so amazed,” Jennifer McCullough said.
Police posted a picture on their Facebook page and McCullough said she had 200 responses.
