EMPHASIS:
Tip A Cop Charity Event In Platte County
The Missouri State Highway Patrol, Platte City Police Department, and the Platte County Sheriff’s Department are hoping to raise funds for Special Olympics Missouri, which helps Missouri’s year round programs and training for individuals with intellectual disabilities. We are calling the fundraiser "Tip a Cop." Roxanne’s Cafe located in Platte City, Missouri will be assisting us with this effort, by allowing Missouri State Highway Patrol Troopers, Platte City Police Officers, and Platte County Deputies to serve customers at Roxanne’s. Officer’s will be taking orders, filling coffee cups, and visiting with the area residents for tips and donations. All tips and donations will be given to the Special Olympics Missouri program. The “Tip a Cop” event will be on January 27, 2017, from 3:30 p.m. to close. Roxanne’s Cafe has supported us in the past by generously providing the restaurant as a place to assist with the fundraiser. Roxanne’s Cafe is located at 1126 Branch Street, Platte City, Missouri, 64079, telephone number (816) 858-7027.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
