Common questions

When should I send a retirement card to a police officer?

Send it around their retirement date, either a few days before or within the first week after. Many departments have retirement ceremonies where cards are appreciated.

Should I mention specific police work in the card?

Yes! Personal touches like mentioning their dedication, specific memories, or qualities like courage make the message more meaningful. Avoid generic 'enjoy retirement' phrases.

Is it appropriate to include humor in a police retirement card?

Light, respectful humor works well if you know the officer's personality. References to trading patrol for golf or 'no more paperwork' can add warmth, but keep it positive and avoid sensitive topics.
