It’s been a couple weeks since we introduced the young man, Tyler, who is on a mission: to thank every cop in America with a donut for his or her services. It’s a tall order for a relatively short guy, but his determination is helping him reach his goals and supporting law enforcement where it is well-deserved.
To kick off the first week, Tyler arrived at St. Augustine with 120 donuts from the A1A Dunkin’ Donuts, ready to hand them out. While grabbing a quick breakfast beforehand, Tyler was surprised by a K9 officer and K9 Kilo, given a ride (sirens, lights, the works!) and was escorted to the department to receive a parking lot full of squad cars with their lights on to honor Tyler.
After a few more grueling stops thanking cops, Tyler and his family rest in Ellijay, Georgia before hitting the road again! Just in time for the 4th of July, the Donut Boy was able to continue his mission, where Dunkin’ Donuts, again, providing a Donut Boy discount for two dozen donuts for Tyler to give away.

In beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, Tyler even got to meet Officer Joe Jones, seen in this heart-warming video that went viral: a perfect example of outstanding community development by law enforcement officers, a perfect reason to thank a cop, as Tyler does.
We’ll have more updates as the week goes on, so stay tuned! If you want to get involved and help this boy and his important mission thanking the men and women who serve, visit Tyler’s Facebook page for more information.
And don’t forget! 2% of your purchase of any department approved ALTAI™ boot will go towards helping Tyler’s cause; everyone gets a treat, including your feet.
Every day, before heading off to work we put on our shoes. No one shoe the same, no one path the same, but we all keep moving forward and throughout the day we cross paths with others. One choosen path is that of a law enforcement official. People pursueing this path need to be ready for anything, at a moment’s notice, so their footwear has to meet specific requirements. These specific needs are what our Black Law Enforcement Boot was created to fulfill. Law Enforcement Officials need a boot that’s comfortable enough for an entire shift, lightweight enough to put some miles on without the extra drag, and presentable to wear with a uniform.
From training to out in the work force, law enforcement officers have many possible duties when behind the badge. When the going gets tough, men and woman everywhere are urged to call 911 and anyone responding to that call needs to act quickly and needs to stay level headed. Though shoes will not be the only thing you need to equip yourself with be sure the shoes you choose to wear on duty will not become an issue by investing in a quality brand like ALTAI™.
We admit it, we are a smaller company. We don’t have the national reputation of VIBRAM (yet), though we do utilize it in our police footwear. However, a little over two years ago our brand had one boot. Our original tactical boot was designed with law enforcement in mind. Demand for the Original Tactical Boot increased, as did amazing feedback from our client base. We have evolved from one boot into a quickly expanding line of tactical boots with amazing features, affordable prices and excellent customer service. Within these past 2 years, we have also started carrying our Line of Tactical Boots at local Midwest locations, our retailers are The Uniform Shoppe, Gear West, Streicher’s, Uniforms Unlimited, Aspen Mills, and many more!
