Serving the public - literally

     La Habra Police employees will be working as waiters and waitresses at Applebee's this Thursday to raise money for the Special Olympics Southern California - Orange County.
     Officers and civilian employees of the department will be serving patrons from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday. Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar is at 1238 W. Imperial Highway in La Habra.
     The Tip-A-Cop fund-raiser is organized by the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Southern California.
     For over 18 years, officers and deputies have teamed up with area restaurants by volunteering their time as "celebrity waiters" and receiving tips to raise funds for Special Olympics.
     All Tip-A-Cop donations are tax deductible and the proceeds from the event are used to provide year-round sports training and competitions for special needs children and adults, ranging in age from 8 to 80, in Orange County.
