#3BigGulps: Clay County Sheriff’s Office debuts coffee to benefit PAL

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office has taken to using the hashtag #3BigGulps when announcing arrests and criminal investigations, and now, they’re building on that to benefit the Clay County Police Athletic League.

In partnership with The Urban Bean Coffeehouse Café, CCSO is launching the “Sheriff’s Blend” coffee on Friday, September 21st. It will go on sale at that café during a Coffee With A Cop event 7-10AM. Portions of the proceeds from sales of this coffee benefit Clay PAL.

Both #3BigGulps and #YouGotOptions have become mantras of sort for CCSO. They trace the origin to a prior criminal investigation, where they posted a video online that went viral.

“After an Orange Park community was terrorized by several criminals, a search was obtained and served. Due to a history of violence reported from the home served, the SWAT team was utilized. After the successful and safe execution of that warrant, Sheriff Daniels took three big gulps in the living room of the residence. This, coupled with his warning to criminals within Clay County that they have options (stop what you’re doing, leave Clay County or we will come and get you), went viral, as did his message,” CCSO tells WOKV.

CCSO describes the coffee as a full-bodied, smooth, medium roast with notes of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. The beans are organic, kosher, and roasted in small batches. You can buy a 12 oz. bag at The Urban Bean Coffeehouse or on their website, starting Friday, September 21st.
