Youth group brings cookies to Corinth police to thank officers

A youth group from Calvary Apostolic Church stopped by the Corinth Police Department with cookies and words of appreciation, the department said in a Facebook post.

The post thanked the young people for their support and thoughtfulness, saying the gesture “means more than you know.” The visit served as a direct expression of gratitude to officers who patrol and serve the Corinth community.

Calvary Apostolic Church is a local congregation that organizes youth activities and community outreach, including volunteer projects and expressions of community support. Visits like this are a common way for faith groups and civic organizations to recognize public servants and to build relationships between residents and law enforcement.

The department said the cookies and kind words helped lift morale and highlighted the community’s ongoing backing of those who serve and protect. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
