"The Phoenix Police Foundation is extremely grateful for the partnership with Courtesy Chevrolet to bring to life Cool Treats One’s new and improved look," Timothy Thomas, president of the Phoenix Police Foundation, said.

"The icy treats truck allows engagement with the Phoenix Police Department and the community in a fun and positive way."
