We`ve heard that no more coffee cup holders in police`s car. Now let`s head to Fort Worth City, US. Police in this city might receive free coffee gift. It`s reported that police now get free coffee at some Starbucks. Off course it’s not only police and firefighters but also even-lower-paid schoolteachers.
Now it`s remaining debate wether they deserve or not to received free coffee from Starbucks. The city policy told that no police employee can “solicit, seek or accept” gifts. But it should be OK for Fort Worth’s officers to accept free coffee on duty as a community relations gesture.
The authority of police and ethics scholars take gift coffee very serious. The suggested ethics code of the Virginia-based International Association of Police Chiefs says that officers should refuse anything that isn’t given to private citizens, and also report any gifts or “items of value.”
