Law enforcement agencies across the state host Tip-A-Cops in their areas to benefit Special Olympics Minnesota. At these events, law enforcement officials act as celebrity servers and help greet guests, fill water, clear tables, etc. Along with local athletes, these volunteers also inform guests about the event and the programs it supports.
If you'd like to host a Tip-A-Cop, just follow these three simple steps:
1. Find a local restaurant
that's willing to host the event.
2. Pick a date and time
that works for both your agency and the restaurant.
3. Recruit officials
from your agency and surrounding ones to help out at the event. In our experience, 4-6 volunteers is the magic number!
