As a police officer, you face extraordinary challenges every day because it’s what you were born to do. You’re not in it for praise or accolades (even though you absolutely deserve them). But it’s still nice to be acknowledged for the service you provide, and many companies offer great discounts for being a law enforcement officer.

Discounts for law enforcement officers
We’ve gathered dozens of fantastic discounts you can use for everything from outdoor gear to clothing to personal electronics to a relaxing getaway. Check out these great deals for cops.
Car and property insurance
If you’ve also served our country in the military, you can get a discount on auto insurance.

As a police officer, you might have the best luck securing a discount by working directly with your insurance agent or broker. We’ve often found discounts are available simply by asking and it’s often possible to stack multiple discounts if you insure your auto and home, have a clean driving record or have vehicle safety and theft prevention devices.

Read the fine print
Before booking or purchasing, make sure to read the fine print to confirm your eligibility. In general, to receive the discount you’ll need to:
- Employed full-time or a retiree from a state, federal or local law enforcement agency
- Verify your status by presenting valid proof of employment
If you are a volunteer, your eligibility for a discount is likely going to depend on the brand or the merchant. Finally, some merchants use a 3rd-party verification service like ID.me, VerifyPass or SheerID.com.
Finally, before taking a discount, be sure you know your department’s policy on accepting such gifts – no discount is worth losing your job.
