Southaven Police Department thanked The Goldton at Southaven and Toyota of Hernando for providing breakfast for DeSoto County first responders “this morning,” the department said in a post on its Facebook page.
The department, which serves Southaven in DeSoto County, Mississippi, said it appreciated the chance to fellowship and connect with local businesses. Community support for public safety personnel is a common way to recognize the daily work of police, firefighters and emergency medical personnel.
Such partnerships can boost morale among first responders and strengthen ties between public safety agencies and the communities they serve, experts and community leaders say. The department’s post highlighted the role of local businesses in supporting those who respond to emergencies.
Details on the event were limited in the social media post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
