In the nordics bribing police to guard you is not allowed. Current rules in Finland are so that police can’t (and mainly won’t) accept any discounts or free items, especially if they’re only targeted to police.
I’m not sure why but I find this deeply icky.

It’s the idea that Police officers are going to be standing around in Waitrose whilst regular people are unable to get more than a crime number off the police if someone breaks into their home and steals their dead Nan’s jewelry collection.
Crazy idea I know, but some shops employ a “security guard” for this purpose. They have to pay them with money instead of warm drinks, but as the security guard works directly for them, nobody can complain that they’re hogging the attention of very thinly-spread police resources.
Fuckheads. This is already a huge issue in the US, please don’t let it spread here.
That’s why cops became associated with donuts in America. Essentially worked as a bribe to get them to guard the place.
