It is unusual. You’re giving donations to a fully state funded entity who get to keep what they seize and have one of the strongest unions in the US? Seems like an absolute waste of money.

I donate to the state police retirement fund occasionally, and I donate to the local shop with a sheriff, which I'm actually intending to go to the kids, but of course the sheriff is all about it and the one soliciting donations.

My business actually started the shop-with-a-sheriff in this county, although the new sheriff took it over after a couple of years.

I waste plenty of money, but I don't particularly feel like I'm wasting it here. You should meet the kids, and the deputies.

I know people who donate to the police retirement fund or whatever, in order to get the bumper sticker that proclaims that to any cop who pulls them over.
