Philadelphia's police officers are working to keep residents and visitors safe during the Democratic National Convention. 

And as a thank you, Chickie's & Pete's South Philadelphia location – which is near where the bulk of this week's convention festivities will take place – has officers' backs by leaving a well-stocked cooler filled with free water and Gatorade for the men and women in blue.

A note taped to the cooler and sandwiched between two pictures of the Philadelphia Police Department's emblems reads, "To our first responders...Stay safe!"

Chickie's &  Pete's employees and community members are also offering up support to officers by donating snacks.
