When they were getting that it was in part because of MacDonalds belief that it was, in a small way, saying thank you, and in part because most franchises that I knew of at the time were owned by former Police.

Maccas used to have a pretty good relationship with the local cops when I was there. If we had a drunk driver in the drive through, we would stall them slightly so a cop could get close, they would tail them for a bit until they were away from the shop, then pull them over for a test. That way the shop did not get targeted for tipping them off.

Not sure what the story is now.
