Should Police Eat In Public While On-Duty?

- "Police have nothing better to do", or "Is this is where my tax dollars are going?" - Two of the most common comments from those who see Police they perceive to be taking a break or relaxing while on duty.
Can Police just eat in peace? 😂
My partner and I used to always try and sit down and eat in restaurants instead of just going through the drive through and eating back at the station. Having a high social media presence, I would often post to my different social media channels. Man, the hate I'd get.
When Police eat in local restaurants, it allows them to interact with the public in a relaxed setting. This can ultimately build trust and relationships through spontaneous conversations. Light-hearted chat.
Seeing officers I everyday settings like enjoying a meal can help humanize the badge. It reminds people that Police are individuals with interests and needs, like everyone else. It's a good thing.

I love it when I see police eating in a local restaurant. I think it really humanizes them and makes them relatable as people.
Me too, thanks for the comment 🙏🏼
Absolutely nothing wrong with eating in a restaurant. Spend enough time in cruiser should be able to sit and enjoy a meal just like everyone else. 🙏💙
Agreed ✌🏼
Interaction with citizens you police. I appreciate you for the work you do.Forget about the haters
As an ex restaurant manager we always invited the police or other emergency services to come in and sit down and relax !! Everybody needs a break, !!!!!!
For sure, and thanks!
Agreed 100%! Plus Police engagement is so important. Plus kids need positive role models! I Love this. Police need to eat also. How can you operate without eating! You are right 100%! Keep up the good work. ❤
Thanks for the input!
You guys are the coolest police, you guys make policing everything it should be. I would chill with you and Pappy. God Bless🤗
Thank you! Always tried to have fun out there.
I love seeing police officers in coffee shops or restaurants or even walking my streets. What a better way to engage and talk with them. I've had many great chats and officers appreciate the positivity with my chats.
Thank you for the input 🙏🏼
I worked as a uniformed letter carrier for ten years and endured that same very nonsense if I ate in a restaurant. When I worked for a city wearing a uniform it was the same nonsense. If you are a uniformed government worker the nonsense is universal. They treat you as non human hence not needing: food, water, or a washroom. We are taxpayers too. Disgusting attitudes. Stay safe!
That makes sense, I never thought a letter carrier would have to go through that as well. Thanks for the input!
My Dad was a staff inspector of police and my niece is a police constable. I get it but it's such a great way to put a face to a badge and for sure it humanizes you fine officers. Stay safe and God bless you 😊
Thank you and God boss you as well!
“like a regular human being” 😂😂😂😂.
😂👍🏼
Some of our naive people assume that police officers are not human beings , they are robots , so they should act like robots. My view point is that there is nothing wrong with eating in a public restaurant with other regular citizens. Neither there is anything wrong if those who’re in power want to act like regular human beings. We’re not our jobs, organizations or buildings , we are normal human beings.
Well stated, and I wholeheartedly agree. Thanks!
Very well said!! I think it's an honor to be in the same restaurant as an officer... I have bought coffee for them or lunch as a thank you for their service... It should never be frowned upon in my eyes.... The ignorance that still exists in this world is just so disheartening ....
It is for sure. Thanks for the input 🙏🏼
Amen brother , people in our area would call in and complain when we went into a restaurant to eat.
Incredible
Of cause Police Officer's in uniform they can eat with public anywhere they feel like too. They are Human beings.
Agreed 👍🏼
I once saw 4 cops eating at a diner and a random person went up to them and said “alright boys break is over get back to work”. People hate on cops for absolutely no reason
For sure
Thanks for being part of the community!
Thank you.
Maybe it has been mentioned, but also when you guys eat in a restaurant, you make the other customers feel safe having the police around! Thank you for that. Also, I had the opportunity to meet you at STC, you are even nicer in person! I was with my friends and we took some pictures together. Keep it up! ;)
Thank you so much, David! I appreciate the compliment and input 🙏🏼
You and Papi ever eat each end of a Hot Dog...at theee saaame tiime! lol
It's good public relations. Keep up the good work constable. Your entitled to a break 😊😊😊
Much appreciated.
Great video Randy! I see absolutely nothing wrong in using your 1 hour lunch to eat in a restaurant. As you said many of the restaurant clients engage with you, especially kids who love police officers (I was one). This is great engagement!
It can be very awkward eating the car so I'm glad that you and @PCPappy took the time to sit down for a proper meal. Eating on the run is so unhealthy.
Thank you again, Leigh!
If the opportunity should be there that’s amazing! With all seriousness aside…as long as you gents behave and not steal the food or drinks from others like I’ve seen and chuckled at in your other great videos!!!😂😂😂
I push the limits at times lol. 😎
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Me I'm glad to hear you having opportunity to engage in activity.here in Michigan family restaurant has endorsement by the union sort of speaks looked good to me as the police was dining in took my hands off my pockets just fine said is great to see you. Thank you
Thanks for the comment ✌🏼
Yeah why not police officers are human too they protects our community ❤
I always buy a coffee for police at Timmy's, but some are really ignorant about it, some really happy and grateful
Sorry to hear, and thanks for sharing!
Good for you, we need more police presence.
Always though it was a good thing as well 🙏🏼
Public Relations enough said a time to engage with the public.
Thank you.
A few weeks ago I was having lunch out. Our acting chief was there and he was happy I said hello. People forget that police are humans not robots.
Agreed, thank you.
Would be a reassuring sight having cops in the cafe/restaurant, good for PR and you’re entitled to a meal break like everyone else 🤛
Thanks for the input ✌🏼
One time I saw police officer at a Subway eating, nothing crazy, I don’t know why some people complain about everything.
That’s for sure.
You guys dont live on love. Thanks for being you Randy. I always stop n say hi to cops when i see them having food. #hybridcopvibes #teamtps #teamrandy
Live off love lol. Thanks for the comment ✌🏼
You welcome 😊
You should be able to enjoy your lunch like everyone else :)
✌🏼
Years ago . In our small town we had firefighters park at Tim Hortons parking lot and the kids would get a tour of the fire truck and parents were educated with any questions about fires …. And of course there were a few cry babies who were whining and crying and making a stink about it and it came to a stop… it’s so sad!! There’s nothing wrong for police officers, firefighters or Ems sitting out in public enjoying their meals. Seriously, some people need to give their heads a shake!
I agree, and I wish in that case the firefighters 🧯 pushed back.
I completely understand, having worked in the medical field you had to have an extremely slow shift that you would go through a shift where you got time to eat. Even if you got a break to eat or do your charting, you were interrupted by family or staff. You would get a look or comment. Many many shifts you would not get time in your 12 hours to eat or drink. If I saw you eating I would thank you for your service.
Thank you as well for yours ✌🏼
I had a hotdog. cart at young & bloor (Toronto)in the 90's i was 20 years old and i loved it each time an officer of the law would come to my cart for a hot dog and alwsys drinks were on me...there's nothing wrong with an officer going into a restaurant to have something to eat...I Encourage you to keep going out for ur lunch.. Haters will be hstrrs.
Haters will be haters for sure. Very nice of you to do that, and I hope nobody ever took advantage of your generosity ✌🏼
You should eat wherever you want and not worry about what others think. My neighbor's granddaughter is a cop and she eats lunch at her house and then has a nap. Thank you for the job you do. Stay safe and God Bless.
Would have loved to work in the area my grandparents lived ☺️ Thank you for the input.
I find I'm protected and safe eating in the same establishment. I'm a Scarborough native as well and would love one day to hopefully see you and your partner at a restaurant and get to shake your hands. Always see your fellow comrades at T Bones or Markham station. Not too sure if either is within your jurisdiction
It was, I have eaten at T-Bones often! Great late night overeating place 🙏🏼 Thank you for the comment.
If a plumber or an electrician or a doctor can have their break in a restaurant, why cant a police officer do it? We are all human.
Agree, thank you.
I am happy to see you so can I sit at your table and steal your food for taste test funny .. have a safe great day
Nothing wrong on eating at a restaurant or cafe, during your lunch hour, or dinner hour. Everyone is entitled on having a meal break while working a long 12 hour shift, or 10 hour shift or 8 hour etc. . How are you guys suppose to regain your strength and energy for the next run or catch.
So go eat, who cares what negative people say.
Agreed, and thanks!
LOL, SOMEONE FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE, RIGHT, LOL!
It's no different than seeing someone else wearing their employee uniform eating in public on their lunch break. Cops dining in is no different.
I agree. Some people think because they’re public servants is the only difference.
Also if I see you guys I am saying hi 👋 😊
Also not to mention, should an emergency happen, the police is right there!
True enough!
You mean like the diner scene in "Pulp Fiction" ? 😅
You can tell this dude loves the mirror.
Mirror loves me 😎
Yes it's an opportunity for GED students to have you and the law 101 questions answered firsthand.
I stir fry broccoli onion garlic red peppers assorted vegetables easy to cook .. I pick easy to cook food I am lazy funny … I like to eat the flower garden park picnic in summer .. pretty flowers 🌺
Ridiculous, everyone gets breaks. It's like when kids see teachers out of school...mind blowing ( except we don't get hate)
It’s true, I remember seeing my teachers ☺️
If you sit in a restaurant or diner you can talk to people and people get use to seeing police. Enjoy your meal 😋 😘
Agreed, and thanks!
Everybody have opinion .. take it or leave it ..
Everyone is entitled to a break during their work hours so it doesn't matter where you eat. It could be in public or private. People will always find a reason to hate you, and you can't please everyone.
That’s for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Taste test hospital mash potatoes 🥔 with gravy funny.. so strange to ask if police can eat in restaurants.
Wait .. I got question .. have you ever tried hospital food at the hospital .. omg I tried the hospital mash potatoes with gravy yummy .. funny
TO dickens is a great spot. Police is a job, and every job gets a lunch break, thats a labor law. Enjoy your lunch!
I appreciate the input. ✌🏼
I have no issue with officers eating at restaurants. I have seen officers go to Tim Horton's to have lunch when I lived in Sarnia. There is nothing wrong with that at all. I wish I would see them go to local restaurants here in Peel Region. I would see them do that in Windsor (drop by and order takeout was common there).
I hope the US follows suit. I think some US police services allow that.
I believe so as well. Thanks for the input.
If I was there I’ll cook Indian food for you sir❤
I love that food! 😍
Well if the police station has a cafeteria then maybe not, but I have seen dozens of cops at swiss chalet so maybe yes.
One of my favourites 😂
What does the PC abbreviation stand for within the TPS? I know for OPP, it stands for Provincial Constable.
Police Constable 👍🏼
I categorically agree with the importance of the police officer eating and taking breaks in a restaurant.
They are also human and have rights just like anyone else. Having a meal break is one of those rights!
The presence in uniform is a deterrent for crime. Their presence alone is doing their job.
And the joke about the tax dollars line... perhaps people need to get their facts straight before wasting others' time with baseless opinions!
I would only be concerned about an officer taking any breaks in a restaurant if they are using their entrusted position to get an advantage over the general public.
Given that nothing of the sort has been mentioned in this video, I have no concerns, and I would like to see police engaging with the public. It's called Community Policing.
I appreciate the comment ✌🏼
I don't get the break hate. As a communication worker, I have experienced it as well.
I bet you have! All the best to you ✌🏼
People can eat in a restaurant no matter what they are wearing. Look behind the uniform.
Agreed, and thank you.
It's up to the officer if they want to eat in a restaurant, in their car or outside of their car. They have the same needs like everyone else. People need to realize they are humans and should be treated with normal respect, just as you would with any other person.
Here is a funny clip from Southland regarding this subject.

Thanks for sharing.
Should cops be able to eat in public? The answer yes .. plus I will taste test your food too
Imagine getting mad at someone eating. Yeah sounds weird doesn't it.
For sure.
How many times I paid for a meal and had to leave it because we got a call.
Better believe it!
I feel safer when i see the Police in a resturant ... here in the states they do it all the time... When I do see them i go up to them and talk to them they really like that..I use to b afraid of the Police idky but then when my freind was a officer i got out being scared of them . they just scared me ...
Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.
@@OfficerArsenault yw
People are just looking to hate on cops. Yeah you're allowed to eat
For sure!
I guess nobody likes their privacy invaded?
I don't see any problem with eating o. The restaurant. I do that too. I'm not the police and like the police they are on the road on the job. So, I can why police not ?
Agreed, and thanks!
@@OfficerArsenault is just the truth
Do you like broccoli onion and garlic
What does it matter if a police officer is sitting in a restaurant having his lunch construction workers do it doctors do it everybody else does it so why is it that it's wrong for a person in uniform to sit and have lunch.
Society has way too many crybabies these days
I agree, thanks for the input!
People need to give their heads a shake and get a life. All people are allowed to eat wherever they want, when they want, period!
Being a cop is a very hard job, leave them the f*&k alone!
I agree, thanks for the input.
Do you eat healthy .. I am nosy funny.
Not always 😎
I try my best to cook easy healthy food 🍱
