In reference to the free "spiffs" mentioned... I almost forgot to say that my restaurant gives law enforcement officers discounted meals and my families' bar also lets law enforcement in with out a cover charge. I do this as a means of security which is also a tax write off. Besides most law abiding patrons of my restaurant and bar enjoy seeing the officers. I feel that by doing this I'm protecting my patrons and employees alike. Most businesses around here on the north shore do this also for the same reasons. The business owners do not view this legal practice as any thing derrogatory.
