Three Oklahoma City metro law enforcement agencies are spreading the love this Valentine's Day with the third annual Badges and Bouquets fundraiser.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Oklahoma City Police Department and Moore Police Department are all teaming up with Oklahoma City’s Floral and Hardy flower shop to make Valentine's Day deliveries.
Personnel in the departments all volunteer to make these deliveries personally to each individual order.
"This is actually one of the good things we get to do," Oklahoma City Police Service Technician Brett House said.
One officer said that some customers specifically asked for officer delivery.
Floral and Hardy arrange and load up the flowers, while all of the delivery tips go straight to the Special Olympics of Oklahoma.
On Valentine's Day, seven officers from the three departments are out delivering flowers all throughout the area.
