Thank a Rochester Cop decorations available for free at several spots across town

ROCHESTER -There is still time to show your appreciation for the Rochester Police Department, as National Thank a Police Officer Day approaches on Sept. 21.

Thank a Rochester Cop, the volunteer run committee, is finalizing this year's efforts to honor local law enforcement officers. The public can help by visiting one of the three "decoration stations", or pick up locations around the city, with supplies to available to help "paint the city blue" during the month of September.

Folks can stop in during regular business hours to one of the following locations: Holy Rosary Credit Union (Brock Street), the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce (South Main Street), or Granite Steak & Grill (Route 11), where supplies are available free of charge, but donations are also gratefully accepted.

In addition to decorating a home or business, community members and children are encouraged to show their support for the Rochester Police Department by writing a thank you note to officers. There are multiple designated thank you card stations located throughout the city.

Thank you cards can be found at: Potter's House Bakery & Café, the cafeteria at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, the Rochester Public Library, and Market Basket at The Ridge Marketplace, as well as the supply pick up locations described above. Members of the Thank a Rochester Cop committee will deliver the thank you cards, along with gift bags, to the officers on National Thank a Police Officer Day.
