However, as the local outlet reports, the corporation does not appear on the IRS' list of tam-exempt companies. Rather, the shop is listed as a non-charitable not-for-profit corporation at the New York Department of State. The five items in the store are stamped with the chief's badge and include $20 holiday ornaments, $42 sweaters, and $20 worth of Patrol Challenge Coins.' Challenge coins are limited-edition tokens distributed to those who served in a specific unit or department of service or law enforcement.
