This is the police department of Lowell, Michigan.
According to USA Today:
This idea came about thanks to UPtv, a family programming network that chose the Lowell Police Department to help them film a promotional video as part of its “Uplift Someone” Christmas initiative.
To pull this off, the police officers pulled over drivers for various reasons: an item dangling from their rear-view mirror, illegally tinted windows, even snow covering a license plate. Most drivers couldn’t believe it when they were presented with gifts.
Watch the video above to see two ladies scream and hug the gift-giving officers.
Lowell Police Chief Steve Bukala says they pulled over 50 drivers for the original video and handed out about 30 presents. The gifts provided by UPtv totaled almost $7,000.
